i have had no issues at all with any part of the car. it has been raced hard. maybe that front arm thing is a hit or miss issue?

It shouldn't be getting anywhere near unsafe operating temps if running stock gear with 4s

setup
Just bought this RTR while living in Michigan, my RC8's will be resting for at least 1 year.... the car is pretty solid and easy handling, I've just broke the rear brace after a bad landing from a big triple and replaced by RC8T aluminum front brace.
I've just one remark, the aka wheels don't fit perfectly, you need to limit the steering or cut a little the beads inside of the front wheels.
My setup for clay is:
Aka super soft handlebar
Diff 5-5-5
Shocks w/ stock springs and 45wt ae
Frt Camber 1.5
Rear Camber 2.0
....
Let's see the next steps...
In summary, for a RTR car it is a great deal, the performance is not so far from my RC8Be or RC8.2e w/ MMM 2200kv 4s setup.

loose screws
Add thread lock to both side of the motor screws! My motor completely disassembled after 10 batteries... I had similar issues with castle motors in the past.

Hi, I am interested in purchasing this car because I am on a tight budget and from what I have being reading on this forum the car promise to behave like a champ on the track. But I have two questions and I was wondering if someone can help me out
1. Can the ESC settings be modified even that the manual says that will void the guarantee.
2. Are there any important upgrades that need to be done to this car, like the rear wheels dogbones.
3. Are there any 4S battery recommended for this kit.
4. Which model to buy the Blue Body or the Orange Body.
Thank you very much for all the help and support.

1. Yes, it is a Xerun ESC you can change using the lights setup or box card.
2. I'd say the Chassis Rear Brace, buy the Buggy RC8 rear link ~6U$ at towerhobbies. Good set of tire if you want to go to the track. Diff Oil, you can start w/ 5k/5k/5k and Shock Oil Associated 45wt or 50wt.
3. 4S (Hobbyking Hardcases) or Reedy Wolf. 4S both fits ok.
4. It comes with both bodies, the blue with the trasnparent windows and the orange with adhesives on the windows.
5. The First Upgrade costs only $5 bucks and it is the most important.
Buy a threadlock and apply it on all chassis screws and in the motor front and rear screws.Regards,
Anderson

Thanks for the inputs I have two more questions:
1. Do you know which program card from Hobbywing is the one required for this ESC
2. Do you have the part number from the RC8 rear link.

Hey guys, I am on a tight buget and am looking into this buggy. I've raced 1/10 2wd buggy for a while and wanted something a little different and had a question about this buggy.
What mm are the wheel nuts i.e. 12mm hexes. I haven't been able to find this information anywhere.
Thanks for the help.
