what do yall think of the rc8e, is it a good pro racing buggy like the nitro rc8?

can it handle good, will it break after a few rolls?

I think it depends alot on driving styles. I personally liked my RC8 and thot it was pretty durable. As B.A. Racer can attest, I do believe that the composite shocks may be somewhat of a weak link, atleast on the front.

I have both flavors. I convert a RC8 FT over to Electric. I never upgraded shocks to BB but have made the stock shocks(aluminum threaded) work fine. I feel it is a great buggy. While it is durable during racing I did feel the plastics wore out quickly.
Things like bushings, Arms, etc. you have to stay on top of or the buggy will get loose. Some say loose is fast but you can get too loose. I am big fan of AE and will continue to run their products.

I love my E- buggy.

I have a Factory Team RC8 electric conversion and the thing is bomb proof. I was worried about the towers snaping off (I have the Carbon ones) and it's never been an issue. FTRC8e is the way to go
