rc8t do not snap like a trig thats the first "gen rc8t" if anything i have no clue why people still believe that. I been running the rc8tce running it as electric at first as nitro its a tough truggy.
I whould remmend the rc8tce for the value, and parts support and lots of people run them at local tracks.
Oh yea the drivetrain and plastics wear pretty good
