The RC8Be has proven to be a solid car for me. Just wish eighth scale buggies weren't so expensive to maintain...
OMG, I went back and looked at it and now I see the WED
And 20 times? You mean 20 trips to the track? There arent enough buggies out there to be changing that often. And its funny about the brushless buggies, I went this past weekend to the track and the 8th buggy class was all nitro and these guys had some powerful RB and Rossi motors, and one buy had an 8B converted to an E and he would pull these guys like no ones business on the back stretch. And the E was the only one clearing the quads in one jump. MMM 2200 FTW

I'll see what he thinks about something specific to the Be and see what we can come up with.
I can understand if Brandon races nitro and doesn't know much about the Es. Its no biggie but there seems to be nothing on the car and Associated sells it so they could support it just the same.

I gotta try that with mine.
+1 Jason. Those vids were very informative. I'm ordering a 4mm reamer shortly, and I'm planning to try sanding the diff cup tonight or tomorrow.
A little OT, but my kiddo was having a blast driving the 1/16 Revo tonight. We made a little ramp and he had a blast jumping it a bit. He surprised me by installing the wheels, battery, and body all by himself. I guess he's been paying attention!
I have a 1/16 eRevo I bought at the walk in amainhobbies in Chico Ca. They guy there talked me into 2x2S packs. It was a kit. said it was the way to go if you want stupid fast. Well I didnt know he meant all it will do is standing back flips. You cant even punch it at half throttle it still ends up on its lid. I knew nothing about brushless coming from Nitro. Its fun if you wanna do somersaults with it all day.
