I raced my new 8T2 for the first time today and all I can say is WOW!!! I am amazed at how much better this truggy handled than the 1.0 that I had before. There really is no comparison to the way that it handles. There were so many times where I would have lost it with the other buggy that this one just kept right on going. It is just so much more stable. I am sold!
