Oh ya, still have it and plan on keeping it;), I love that truck! Unfortunately, nobody else in the club has one, so I have no class to race in:cry:

Thanks Phil for taking off the photo op targets off :D. We don't play nice have video proof see youtube search for farmphil22

I wish I had a crew like you guys to play with at our track :cry:..there's just a bunch of 1/10 4x4 SC sewing machines zinging around at track:lol:

So I'm still rockin' the SC8. Had a phase where I was very displeased with it, but later realized I just had a very bad set-up for this particular track.. And when I tried to sell it people expected me to give it away. So I kept it. Glad I did, too.. It's a solid, robust, and fast truck that if nothing else makes a good platform for breaking in and testing engines.. Have an Argus A52 with 0801 in it now, and it shreds..(at least on bottom.., and it has plenty top for any tracks I'm likely to run on..)

Anyway - question: I just picked up a new body, and am just going to rattle-can it black. Then I got some Rockstar stickers, and yeah that's about it.. Anyway, I'd like to reinforce it somehow so it doesn't rattle apart so easily.. I've noticed that since the body is so big, and rattles so much over the cage, and is so square in places, that the body goes to hell quickly.. So, what can I do to strengthen it? NFMH, I know you did something once? What exactly? Anybody else?

Anybody else even running one?..

New bod.. Back in Black:

Or maybe yeah, stickers..

(And YES, it's nitro and staying that way.)

Just picked one up in a trade:nod: Too bad the weather is getting cold already but the jammin .21 that came with it seems like it will do the trick for a while

Nice. Post some pics. I had a Jammin/Picco twin in mine for a bit too, and it ripped. I actually think the SC8 goes better with a good 21 than a 28.. Here's mine, all finished except cutting out the window..

I have the Mach 427 with Go 2047 in it right now. Very nice combo for the SC8. With almost every engine I've tried you need a 17T CB - with the Mach maybe even a 18T would be worth trying for good top-speed..

I can't believe it's taken me this long to find this thread....Hello SC8 brothas!!!....:D:D:D

Hey are you on rcshortcourse.com?? I'm on there and I'm thinking your chating with me on my thread!! Thanks and welcome.

Yeah, that's me Doug......Nice chattin' with ya.....I'll check out your group too....:D

Here's a quick little video of my SC8 at the track I recorded a couple months ago.....I still had the old RTR Renezeder body on it....LOL

My son did the shaky camera, and only managed to get a little bit of footage of me.....which I ran about 4 tanks on this run and he seemed to get everything else that was going on....LOL....I'll get some some really good footage soon while I'm testing setups....:D

HSavage - I still have mine, Red Bull livery, look super cool, but its been a shelf queen for 3 yrs. For the body, you can reinforce it with fiberglass tape used for reinforcing dry wall. You can get it at any hardware store. Its sticky yellow mesh. cut to fit the weak area, stick to the underside of the body then apply a coat of shoe goo. Also if you have any squared cut outs, radius all corners. Hope his helps. my 4x4 slash body is almost all tape and shoe goo but it still rockin, barely.

Hope this helps

To bring it up to date, I had to change my broken bumper again….
