Thanks, I got too much cash in my d8 not to run it next year. I Get the lightened chassis and the new rear carriers and it will be almost the same. They still dont show on HB yet..lol.

The only reason I would by the new edition is for the wce shafts.I wonder if it is true they do not come with them.I am good about breaking the stock ones even the thicker lightning ones.But the shafts are all updated now and have only broken one at the Finals and it was the Lightning Pro one imagine that! I may still buy it though I will have to wait until I get my budget for next year from the wife LOL!!

If it doesn't come with 92mm shafts then I am think the standard with all the LW parts is the better way to go and then add the WCE shafts to the front at least.. It'll end up near the same price, and you will have replacements parts if something should happen..

yeah your right there Scotty.I already have lightened chassis but having another car would be nice like I said its going to depend on my race budget and how many sponsors I can pick up for 2011. Oh yeah I bought the Orion ABI awesome engine!!

Deposit sent. Thank you!

but just to add the long rear shocks and a light weight chassis your over the price of the hara kit and those are the most noticable upgades i did on my old d8

True, just doesn't seem right to not include the WCE drive shafts..

Not only do I prefer to build my own, I like something that's easy to work on and maintain. The Losi isn't that bad I guess, but sure wasn't anything that I would brag on, that's for sure.
When comparing the two, I sure wouldn't pay the difference.

i found the losi to be really good when it was new, then the handling seems to get loose after it got some wear on it, i replaced alot of parts nothing seemed to help allways seemed to be chasing the car, the d8 handled the pretty much the whole time i ran it
