I do have one issue though. I broke my rear chassis brace at the track the other day. I'm debating if I should go with a pivot ball style brace, or a plastic stock brace. I run on rutted out 1/8 scale tracks, so by getting the solid FT brace, I will sacrifice traction and chassis flex too much.
We went to the solid aluminum and it really did not change the flex as bad as you would think. In addition, last week my son which has both the 8be and 8.2, though the 8.2 is not built for him yet, set his 8be on the TQ spot against other 8.2 vehicles. I have two sons and the other one did have 8.2 on the track and finished 4th. The oldest one did drive the 8.2 and he does think he will be better with it.
