LMAO, What I really love is watching all the Nitros run for two minutes then have to tune or fix this or fix that, you catch my drift. Nitro seem to be too much time and trouble. So what if electric is more expensive, it's way more fun to drive, charge, drive, charge, drive (maybe have to fix something) then drive some more! Heck if you have three batteries you barely have any down time excpet for cooling.

initial set up costs are higher but over time, nitro is much more expensive.
glow plugs at $8 each, fuel at $25 /gal, filter oil....etc.

Is there a way to search just pix in this thread. I want to see everyone elses car but don't want to scroll through 213 pages

I will never go back to Nitro. I may even sell my Rc8Be when the new 1/8 Durango buggy comes out.

you can get one pretty cheap in the for sale section now

What is this Durango you speak of and do you have a link?

I too am waiting for the DEX408, but I'll probably keep the RC8Be too.

I just wonder if the DEX408 is going to be just shy of $700, like the DNX408. It's not going to be a cheap car for sure...

Im talking about the "DEX408" which isnt out yet, the factory electric one

It has not been released yet. Will require saddle packs, so packs like the Gens Ace that fit the RC8Be perfectly won't fit the DEX408. It's going to be one slick car, though.

Another one:

so i can up plug the wire and change it it sensorless??????? so lost . and i have a mac . so i can't use my conputer to program it ????

With the Mac you can use Bootcamp or virtual machine to run a windows environment inside Snow Leopard

Gregg, I know you like Caster, and they have a 1/8 electric buggy that is more similar to the DEX408 than the RC8Be:

I wonder how much they go for? Looks like they use a lot of 7075 aluminum, which is nice. The body is pretty fugly, though.

I'd probably still wait for the DEX408, though.

What's so good about it?

Everything... The quality design and geometry is amazing.
