I ran this weekend at the local track. I am getting much better at driving! I only flipped about 5 times the whole day yesterday compared to about 500 times my first time at the track. Slow is fast. I spent about an hour watching the pros take the corners and stuff and it really improved my driving. The problem I keep having is the as$ end wants to slide around on me. Example. I m on the gas, I come to a corner get on the brake let off and start to turn and the as$ slides all the way around on me. thoughts or help on this matter?

If that all checks out, I would compare my tires to the faster guys tires and the review the overall set up.
I was able to resolve a similar issue by moving the hinge pins on the rear hubs to the upper holes and went back to the old 'larger' steering rack. After doing that, my car was much more predictable.

It also goes the polar opposite meaning it turns but it's a super wide turn, not very sharp and precise. Any thoughts or help on this matter?

I just purchased myself a used SC10 2wd w/ a 8.5T TEKIN * RS Pro system. I'll be running a 4PL Tx and 2s Venom.
I'm a bit nervous over that belt drive... so I'm holding off for now.
So I'll have my Be and SC10 out there as well

Tekin motor ? I have a T8 2000kv that I got for my scte but sold the scte and bought a new RC8Be I also have a T8 1900kv motor I got for it. My ? Is can I run the Truggy motor 2000kv ? Will it have more top end or torque than the 1900kv buggy motor ? Also what pinion to run with the 2000 motor. I was told 18-21 for the 1900.

atm i'm running a 15t with a 2250kv on 4s. it seems perfect.
i may go up a tooth or 2 just to see, but i'm happy with it right now.

I finally got to run my RC8 and I am saying I am definately a 1/10 scale convert... loving the speed and handling... I am not sure WHY but the guy I got mine from was running a 15/46 on the 1900kv Tekin... WOW was I under powered when I first tried it... I stepped up to the 17t pinion and still may go a little further... out track isnt huge... but with getting used to throttle input control I think I can swing the 19t and stay in...

Well, as some of you know, I've been going back and forth on what to do with getting these new parts coming out, and possibly trading the rc8 in for something different, but im here to tell you that Im here to stay!
A couple of my friends run 8ights and I finally got to try one yesterday and I really like my rc8 more. I think I'm going to try and snag the new arms and towers and go from there. Im in love with this car even more now after driving the Losi.
