I raced my 8ight for the first time yesterday. I was fairly impressed at how the car wasn't tire dependent and how straight up fast it was!

There is one thing that nobody has told me...

Those plastic spur gears absolutely SUCK! I stripped one in the second qualifier yesterday. I figured it was just improper mesh. Replaced it, then reset mesh. 6 minutes into the main chasing the leaders around and it stripped again. All of the teeth perfectly sheared off.

You'd honestly think after all of these years Losi has had an electric car (this one also having a 700$ price tag) that they could design a plastic spur gear. You'd also think as well that Losi would make arms that didn't require reaming with the holes actually lined up out of the packaging!

But other than that, the car is pretty good.
