I've tried a bunch of combinations but always end up back with 5-5-5.

I like a little thicker in the front so I am running 7-5-3 right now. I may go up to 7 in the middle.

I asked AE this question directly. It is a hard anodized coating similar to the ft shocks. It is to resist wear from dragging across track surface. The reason for two models is is a running change, all new kits will include updated anodized chassis. Old black chassis I'd being phased out.

Hi guys, just wanted to let everyone know that I recently got the AE Carbon Shock Towers for my RC8.2e and weighed them to see what the difference is over the stock FT aluminum towers.
A pair of CF towers is 1/2 oz. lighter than the aluminum ones.
IMO, that's a very low weight savings to cost ratio (It was about $80 for the pair) but they do look nice and seem very stiff.
Just some information I wanted to pass along.

No, not yet. I only get to bench race the thing until springtime when the 1/8 tracks open up.

TSMiley -
3 RX8s, all doing the same thing on the one 4s battery?
1) Have you tried using a different battery and if so, was it also 4s?
On any or even all three of the RX8s, do you normally use 4s batteries?
The reason I ask, is it sounds to me as if that may not be the case, and if I'm correct, the LVC is not set for 4s batteries. When LVC is not set correctly, the Rx8 will not arm. You'll still get power to the receiver though, so this is why the servo and PT still operate.
