I like the carbon towers on Jesse's car. I guess when you're fast and stay on your wheels, you can get by with carbon fiber.

Cant wait till this buggy drops so I can pick one up. I'll keep wheeling the D8T and the Ve8 for now.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's been well tested. I better start gathering the parts necessary like the rx batt and the bearings. Need to think of a new color scheme for 2012 too.

The only questions left are the official release date and the price...

The CR8 does not require a unique diff setup. The CR8 does accelerate a little quicker than the D8.
Jesse, thanks for your reply, it is much appreciated.

the only area i sometimes struggle with on my D8 is keeping the rear locked down when the grip goes away.

how have you been finding the level of grip/flex at the rear compared to your D8?

have you had to play around with shock pistons/oils/springs etc with the CR8 being different from the D8 or been using pretty much what you had been running on the D8.

is there adjustable inserts for kickup and anti-squat and are they likely to be included with the kit at all?

thanks for your time.

I'd like to see how the radio tray is bolted on to the chassis, especially with the reinforcements in the recent update. Would be nice to see a demo of how easy(or hard) it is to do maintenance. I think Josh put a vid on that aspect with the D8 before. The car is about to be released, but I don't see whole lot of marketing going on.
