This may not be the best set up for, but is something to consider.
Thanks Rick, I was at OCRC last Wednesday and a bunch of your guys from Associated were running there with their SC8s. So much fun to watch on the track.

I just got home from the RCX show and am now the proud owner of an SC8e!

Can't wait to get it together and head to the track.

Hobbytown in Corona had a store set up at the show. They had two of them there when I bought mine.

I couldn't believe they had them already- everywhere else I called said 2-3 weeks.

The other one was there on Sunday at 2:00 when I left. I quelled the urge to spend $$ and support my local shop instead. I still can't decide to get an SC8e or a regular SC8 and covert it so I can switch back and forth from nitro to electric. . . . decisions, decisions....

These trucks are a much better choice for electric then buggies are. Buggies over heat too easily because of their bodies. These truck will allow things to stay cool so that your stuff does not thermal.

This is where problems can crop up. As long as your shop in turn ordered it and there are no problems, you should be OK.
