On this forum you'll find Michigan Mini Offroad Championship racing. The owner runs this race and at the bottom he has a link to his site. His name is Tom. I'm not good on computers so this is the best I can do for ya. He also sells on Ebay just check the LC's that aren't from china. ThumbRC.com

LC Racing for the win, i had a Tacon soar 1st, sold it because i wanted the mini 8ight truggy, bad mistake, not durable at all (too many issues) got the lc racing truggy and keeping it forever, fast as hell and handles awesome.

The m8 and m8t are the same platform with the m8t having a longer chassis, longer arms and bigger wheels. The m8t is heavier yet uses the same electronics...not good. If I were you and wanted a buggy I would get the m8. If I wanted the truggy I would get the tacon/lc racing truggy.

Just buy something though. Your over thinking it.

If you have trouble with the speedo (SORRY ESC) not working make sure it's not the receiver. I've been told they have a little trouble with some of the recievers.

I never broke anything on mine. I carried extra arms all the outer parts and never used any of them.

My wife purchased the mini 8ight truggy for me as a Christmas gift.

I tossed on a handful of modifications initially and I have yet to break anything.

My specs are in the Mini 8ight T thread. Last or second to last page has my "build sheet".
