Ezh, it really comes down to preference, if you got a hot bodies or a Losi guy in here, they would tell you all kinds of things wrong with the RC8Be, but us Associated guys in their thread would be able to do the same thing. I will tell you first hand though, this is a top notch kit. very few upgrades for it because everything is beef already. There will be some stuff coming out for it but most everything on it now is awesome. Unless you're Billy, hes a little bit different then the rest of us.
