it looked ok handling wise but durability was a issue too. i think you would be just as well off buying a Cen Matrix and they arent good either. if you look at the SX8 it looks like a Cen copy (kinda sorta, like some resembles the Cen)

it is supposed to hit the market any day now. hopefully soon. i may be switch from my D8T to an OD Z01T-SG. their parts are top notch and the customer service is even better. if you do get it post up questions on the odonnell topic, they are extremely helpful. and make sure to build it exactly like the manual and go on their website and look up the tech notes, there should be additional info on building it.

You cannot beat the Hot Bodies for the price and durability. Hands down the most cost effective vehicles out. Not to mention they have been Top 3 at most of the major races this year, !

I have the o'donnell z01 team . It has between 3 & 4 gallons & Has had no problems . No wear at all except the back of chassis which is normal , i now run skids . Extremely high quality . It was a little hard to get a good setup , actually took a couple gallons to get it to my liking but now it's good . My son races a d8 t & it is an awesome truggy but does require a little more attention but the kit setup is pretty good . I like the o'donnell cause i work so much i want something with low maintenance , just clean it every race , service it every couple gallons & have fun .
