I think you will have to talk to the team drivers. I went by Dansey's today and he didn't have much of anything. I bought a AE clutch from there for 32.00 I have to check out Hobby People tomorrow to see what they have. You would think that there would be a hobby shop here that would support 1/8 scale racers with two tracks in the valley

O man, thats why I quite running the RC8 clutch.. too much $$$ I probably had all the parts you needed in my clutch box Brian

HB clutch $5 and its dialed


The drop off looks dialed, its just a drop, and the gravity cavity looks pretty long... should be easy to do. And if you go off the side...... well I guess you'll only do that once

Disagree. We have absolutly no 8th Scale racing support here. I am one of the guys that runs the racing at the Silver Bowl track, where all the pros tested and tuned today. We have no support from any of our hobby shops. All of them sell basher stuff.

I think you misunderstood me.... all I said is the RC8 clutch is spendy and dont go off the side of the drop off

I have no idea what support exists or doesnt exist.

Basher is what sells...... My full time gig is in the industry, and we sell 50-60 RTR's to 1 kit easy... and thats probably conservative.

I'm really shocked that there is so little coverage of the race so far. LiveRC isn't running, this thread has no pictures of the completed track yet, there's nothing on Neo Buggy. The SGrid thread has the same pictures this thread does.

Very odd.
