No problem Gascot. Any local hobby dealer should be able to get one for you. The TC cars are still relatively new to the US, so dealer inquiries are welcome at [email protected].

Final set up worked great!! Thanks for the help
The buggy performed better with the soft rear springs.
My T8 flowed through the jumps. low and smooth. It does not take much throttle to get my up and over the jumps.
other buggies jumping next to me were being thrown up and getting some hang time.
I was already landing and back on the power!!
Were we race it is a low to mid grip track with big jumps comming out of corners.
Did I mention that it takes corners as if it was on rails!!!
Going down the 175 foot straight into a 90 degree right turn, the buggy anchors down and wips around the turn. I find myself looking at my T8 and thinking, wow that was impresive and forget to set up for the next jump. LOL
I will try and post my set up sheet as soon as I can.
Thanks Team C for making a buggy that is easy to drive!

My T8 continues to impress.
Some of the features I really like are:
3 piece radio tray, so if your steering servo goes out you just remove the front piece and replace the servo. No more removing the whole tray just to get to the servo.

Same set up for the throttle servo, you can just remove the throttle servo part and replace it.

The removal of the center diff is simple. Just remove a few screws and you can remove the top half of the diff housing. this exposes the center diff for easy access. This is very helpful when tunning for different tracks.

The servo saver adjustment knob is on top of the servo saver rather than the bottom. If the servo saver spring needs adjusting you do not have to take the front steering apart to get to the adjustment knob.

These are some of the key points to the T8 that enable me to tune my T8 faster than my previous buggy.

here is a set up currently running
"Except for Springs"
running the standard Team C Springs
in front and a softer set for the rear...
the 10 Deg front blocks will help if you need say "Initial Turn In"
the stock 12 have a more "Neutral feeling"
but with this we dropped about 2 seconds that is "Significant" for our track.
our track is Revelation Race Way...
here is a Video if you have a track "Similar" give this a shot....
but stick with stock settings....then give this one a "Try"






and here is Video it's with the truck but you get the idea for the track
"Conditions"......

Ive only had two races on mine, but I can tell you I have not had any issues with my car. Ive been doing very well with it. Drives alot better than the Losi 2.0 I came off of. If you get one you wont be disappointed.
