They should ship monday or tuesday...just have to find a location in the warehouse and they will go out. Most of the first shipment is already sold.
Well, I meant legal width for the class, but considering that limit includes the body, yeah, it would be too wide for the body as well.
There is less sidewall flex running 8th scale wheels but the tread patterns are usually better on most of the sc tires I have seen.
I am curious as to why you bring up DE racing wheels...I know they are a shade lighter than stock, but they flex like a banshee...lol.

Well, I run them and have been pleased with them. Just curious as to what you and most of the team drivers are running?
I preordered mine through Amain a few weeks ago so I hope I am one of the lucky ones that is accounted for then!!!

Some colors and styles of the DE wheels flex like crazy. I run the DE 17mm SCT wheels in black color and have been very happy with them as well. They are however, quite a bit stiffer than some other models of their wheels.

Yeah, I run DE racing 17mm hex wheels and I am happy with them too, I takes them to the podium every time @ my track 
Have not tried 12mm DE wheels so can't comment on those.

I skimmed a bunch of what I missed and I will say the new springs have one HUGE plus that really isn't mentioned enough... THEY FIT PROPERLY, far less drag on the body vs the original sets. They just have a better clearance, so if you are debating on getting them, do it.

I have white , gray , and yellow DE wheels and havent noticed any difference in flexibility ? And the rim part of the wheel flexes but the center seems plenty stiff IMO . The stockers on the other hand are stiffer on the rim but the centers flex and warp over time . I have 2 sets that have stress marks around the center of the wheels from flexing so much (which is why you get that clicking sound while turning sometimes) ......

And I was just curious personally...I am glad other companies are making wheels...most do now.

On a hard dry track with a dusty surface would you want a softer compound tire or a harder compound. I'm thinking of trying out AKA Impact 8th scale tires in medium compound, does that sound good?

What is the actual track tempature? That is the best way to gauge what compound you should be running as well as moisture etc. In my opinion mediums are pretty hard, I wouldn't be running mediums unless it's 100+ track temp. But if it's hot and you want the tire to last longer at the expense of traction then run a medium.

on carpet, blitz tires are great(not the soft compound tho), sc10 tires were pretty good, and so were the salsh tire, all really good with a little sauce on them.

Ryan,,
how is the weight bias on the new TLR chassis??
is it similar to stock or was more weight removed from the front then the back?

that's funny. one naysayer who didn't get enough hugs as a kid and now cries out to be noticed says the BCE chassis had too much removed from the back and now questions like this...many more people here are thrilled with the performance of the BCE chassis in spite of the 3 pounds bill removed from the back of the chassis that completely destroys it's flight characteristics

I thought everyone already had 8ight-e on their ignore list so I didn't comment
I LOVE my BCE chassis. If anyone trys to tell you it isn't one of the best mods you can do to your truck...it's time to go get the rubber boots on cause the shiz is getting deep!!!! Was good enough for me to dominate the RC Pro Series here

Not to clutter the Losi thread with RX8 stuff but the answer is yes, 2s cutoff is 6.0 volts. It doesn't hurt to bump it up to a custom lvc for new packs for the first 10 or so cycles to say 3.2 per cell so for 2s that would be 6.4. Any questions just pm me...
