I think I have both parts from the V2 before I converted it to V3. You can have them for price of shipping. Let me double check tonight if I still have them.

What kind of RX battery are you guys using. The tray is not very big and I have been using hobby people
1300 lipo, yes cheap but I would like to get something with higher capacity.

The tray is bit "unstandard" in terms of dimensions, most lipo RX packs don't fit. I have been using this LRP pack which will fit without modifications:

Please check my summary of experiences of driving Shepherd Bull X8, which is basically a re-branded TeamC T8 v3.

Love my T8T truggy, it impressed me at first time i drove it, at the moment, I drive another brand buggy, interested in v3 since my friend sell it cheap never used. but i got skeptical because team c haven't update its 1/8 scale line up for a while. in my area part are easy to get, so part are not a problems.

should i take it? I'd like to hear an opinion from you guys at here first ?

thanks before

it's a nice car, perhaps not the top, but the V3 is not far off
and all drivers I know seem very happy with it , and even go back, if a newer car doesn't fit them..

I alway want to try another "off brand", i like to be different than the other on the track.
it sure is a nice car, but lately that thought to get "common" brand like kyosho, mugen, HB, Xray are killing me, those "pro" support and setup sheet or build tips are awesome to have.
I know this is my money, but not that what i wanna ask.

are anybody have the same common feeling racing "off brand" kit?
have you ever thought to move to another established brand and be-confident with it, because the "pro" will support us.

or it just me having this silly thought?

Its been my experience over the years, that a good sponsored driver will help a fellow racer with tips reguardless of the brand they are running. If you have a basic understanding of car setup, you shouldnt have any problems, little tips and tweaks on this car can be found in this thread. If your sticking with the T8T, you might as well go with the buggy as many parts will interchange.

I am in the process of selling our T8T's sadly. I like like them, very tough and I liked there handling. The reason for selling is parts are too hard to get. One of our trucks needs a new center front drive shaft and Atees has said there is no supply.
Where are you guys getting your parts from?

Contact DustinH here on rctech.

Thanks for the link. With my many searches I never found that site.

So what's the deal with Team C? What do you mean by rejuvenated? It makes me nervous when a distributor comes back to me to let me know the parts are not available from the factory and there is no restocking date. I figured they were either going out of business or deleting the T8T parts.
