Also, are the Associated Rc8 8 hole tapered 1.3's (ASC89459) very different from the Kyosho white 8 1.3's ? I haven't seen anyone mention this as a viable alternative to the Kyosho's. Why?
Love this buggy!!! Went to huge tri-state race (50 E bugies) and a lot of fast guys there and qualified 6th in the A. Almost all of the A main drivers were sponsored drivers.
