I know my RC8 seems to feel like a tank, but I love it. Even when riding BMX I rode around on a tank.
I'm gonna search the thread, but if you could post the weight again, that would be great. I say again because I feel like I saw it somewhere in here.
Hello, I have both setups so I can give you a feedback.
JQ/ RX8/ T8 1400/ 5S lipos
DNX408/ MMP/ T8 1400/ 5S lipos
With similar settings on the ESC the RX8 gives more power, definitely. But it runs hotter than the MMP, surprisingly. Running a RX8 instead of a MMP is equivalent from going from a 25C lipo to a 45C. The role of the ESC is often underrated, it's not just a link it really makes a big difference on the track. But all in all the MMP is giving awesome results for the price. More reliable than the RX8 in our case, and I have tried various ESC.
Nobody answered me when I asked when the EB48 will come out. If someone has the info.. Many guys would be interested in France and Belgium.
