Hello
I am interesting to heare some review about T8. The most I am interesting how did this buggy stand neare the other buggy's. Now I have Seprent, but we have very bumpy track and now I am trying to do this chasis more stable, but not succcesfull. So now I am looking to try other buggy and Team-c is the most easey and fastest way to get for me. So the most I am interesting to know how do this buggy stands neare the AE, HB, Mugen brand? How did he run on bumpy track? Can I expect more forgiven chassy. Or it can be the same like Serpent and I will have to fight with him like and Serpent.
Thanks

This car is some kind of "ideas fusion"- mugen rear/losi front end. Handling is very predictible but thanks c-hub style front end it isn't boring and have more turn-in. Quality is good, look at 38 page. You can find there everything about durability and wear issues http://www.rctech.net/forum/nitro-of...-buggy-38.html .

the only raison I don't run the car, is because I really don't like the excessive wear/play
I see appearing in the front arms/kick-up plates of a friend's car.. is that still so with the V3 cnc kick-up plate?

What replacement/aftermarket bodies are available for the TR8 buggy? Can't find anything on amain.

The plastics are softer than most, making the car more forgiving in bumpy conditions, and less likely to bind when dirty, or break in crashes. The front arms can be flipped over and used on the opposing side if they develop a bow and have not overstretched at the hinge-pin hole.
No offense intended to you Speedy, but if I didn't personally run the car, I would not jump into the forum to make comments about the wear characteristics. There are enough actual users of the Team C cars willing to give objective responses to new inquiries.

The front suspension plate is 7075 aircraft aluminum and hard-anodized, so if your friend's car is showing wear, that's all it is. A few somersaults can cause some premature wear on any car.

Everyone replacing the shock o-rings with stock replacements? Pulled some leaky shocks apart to find some pretty firm o-rings.

I have always used stock shock o-rings. Just use lot of AE green slime during every shock rebuild and make sure that shock boots are in good shape and keeps dirt outside 
. In my cars I have transparent o-rings.

Sounds good. I'll look for the clear o-rings. I rebuilt my shocks with losi's latest 3.0 boot and they seem to fit nice. They are self retained on the bottom of the boot vs pinching between the shock end and spring cup.
