How are these choices
I wrote a thread a couple days ago asking a couple questions and just wanted some advice and possibly some tips of the parts ive bought.
I recently bought the RC8, bought the Jammin JPX.21 engine, JP1 pipe and Futaba S9451 for my steering servo and the Futaba S9351 for the throttle. Are these good choices ? Oh, what battery pack is most using, the flat or hump ?
If there is any other advice, please foward your thoughts. Thank you for everything.
And, is that a good engine ? Tried finding some talk on older threads but couldn't find any.

9351 for steering, 9451 for t/b

You definitely want the stronger servo for steering.
Hope you don't have to stay at work much longer.

In that case, thanks for doing what you do. We all sleep a little better at night until the smoke detector goes off.

Will a flat receiver pack even fit in the battery box? I admit that I am perfectly content running my 1600Mah hump packs. As a result I have never cared enough to really look into alternatives but from what I know the flat packs are for touring cars and won't physically fit in your typical 1/8th scale battery box.
Oh and if you are racing I'd get two 1600 packs or 3 1200-1300 packs (assuming you go that route). Those servos are going to be hungry and nothing is more frustrating than killing a receiver pack in the middle of a race.

The flat rx packs fit great in the battery box. I have a Venom 1600 flat pack in my RC8's battery box.
Your list sounds pretty good but for future reference you should ask those questions BEFORE buying everything

it has a longer box than the norm which allows for humps or sticks
