The front end has been changed from the original RC8 (first on the RC8b) to make it's assembly and maintenance too easy!

You'll need good 1.5, 2 and 2.5 hexes (I use EDS, RC Pro and associated tools. Not planned that way, but all are good quality) and sometimes a 5.5mm nut driver.

In spite of AE not always offering up a drivable box setup, the RC8 series offer up a really good starting point. Find out what tires work best for your home track and tune from there.

Have fun!
