Just a little note for everyone that is all talking the D8 up. The D8 you will buy from the store isnt the D8 that Hara won with, nor the one that Alsop will drive. Plain and simple. Now dont take that as say anything bad about the D8, just stating facts. The MP9 would be my choice. That cars drive train is smooth as they come. Kyoshos attention to detail is unmatched. The price tag is worth it. It is top of the line out of the box, nothing extra needed to make it competive. Just my 2 cents.

Hara's D8 had a light chassis and two cnc drivecups for center cvd's, taller rear tower with the lighting evo2 buggy longer shocks and some titanium pins and rods. the other three D8's in the worlds final were pretty much stock or maybe some titanium pins on Tessmann car .. the D8 that Hara used at the Japanese champ race had the light chassis, the same two cnc drivecups and some titanium pins/screws, the rear tower and shocks were stock... the D8's that Tessmann,Roberds and Amezcua run at every race are pretty much stock buggies with minimal changes and they still run at the front pac all the time.. the D8 that Tessmann ran at Thunder Alley only had two cnc drivecups and some titanium pins and maybe steering rods.. nothing extra needed to make it competive. Just my 2 cents

all is relative ....
tess and jesse are running the D8 stock
unless the driveshaft problem
it would have been a without any problems kit first off
a friend of mine is a big name with many years of experience
right now he is doing a complete review of the MP9
and he told me : "don't buy a mp9, rather buy a mbx6 like me, I have seen to much already with the mp9 " ... not willing to give any clues why..
but it's true, it seems to have all you need out of the box
and looks like a real racing machine

Well thanks for the not needed run down. Love the fact that you said a couple of times through your post what were the words? Pretty much, I think . Wow some very thought provocing statments. Might I ask how do you happen to have all these facts. Oh and you wouldnt be alittle bias would you D8? But Im not trying to bet into a battle of words. Either way as I said not the car you can buy from the store. And by the time you change the parts out you are back up there in price. Would you like your change back?

I've driven a lot of them, and it's already been said, but I'll say it again...........
TRACK SUPPORT and LHS SUPPORT.
Took me a while from seeing all these "other" cool cars untill I finally realized you gotta get what people are racing at your track. It makes racing soooo much easier. You may not be the "cool guy" with the "different" car, but abandon that theory quick.
My track is predominantly Losi and Associated. A few Jammins and D8's in the mix too. I own an 8ight-e and an RC8.

Lovin the 808, I'm hooked on XRAY for life. I even got a partial sponsorship from an On-line XRAY dealer. Not a driving sponsorship. I help them with their web-site, and they give me Kits and parts at cost, for HUDY and XRAY stuff.
Send me a PM when your ready to come out. I'll hit you back with my phone Number, so we can make all the arrangements. I'll even come and get ya at the airport. Peace, James
