I finally got to run my RC8 and I am saying I am definately a 1/10 scale convert... loving the speed and handling... I am not sure WHY but the guy I got mine from was running a 15/46 on the 1900kv Tekin... WOW was I under powered when I first tried it... I stepped up to the 17t pinion and still may go a little further... out track isnt huge... but with getting used to throttle input control I think I can swing the 19t and stay in...
Nice! I also came from 1/10 SC and love everything about 1/8. Im running the same motor as you geared 18/46 and it's pretty good. Id like to try a 19, or 20 but I do alot of practice days, and if I run a full 4500mah battery to cut off I come off the track right around 140-145, and switching pinions out isnt a very quick task with the crappy stock motor mount.
Good luck with it, and there's tons of great info here
