whats the difference between the factory team and the normal rc8e?
There is a difference of $120 and not sure if its worth splashing out the extra $$ for the FT kit.

The regular kit comes with plastic shocks..... the FT comes with Big Bore shocks that would cost around $108 anyway, and you get a few other carbon fiber pieces. The shocks are the largest difference.

thanks, did a bit of research and the non FT rc8e does come with big bore shocks, but are made of composite rather than aluminium.

If your not in a big hurry to get one you may be better off waiting for the new FT RC8B kit and buy the RC8E conversion separately. Then you get all the goodies right away. It is always better to buy the higher priced kits if you plan to upgrade later (we all do!) and can afford the highend kits.

The problem is you end up paying for a bunch of extra Nitro parts you don't need nor want... I would think it won't be long (hopefully before Christmas) before we see an RC8B-E!

You could always sell them, people would buy them.

You fail for not having any wheels on that car in the pic's. Although at lease you have a chassis under it. lol


Also how are you heading out to that race if you don't have a battery pack right now?
