They are M4 recoils. They hook up well on hard packed and clay. They were $16 for 4 (tires only, no foam no rims)

Hey guys, I've had tons of PM's and emails about these chassis, and here they are, The new V2 Nitro and Electric Chassis, They are 3mm's longer, these are the same chassis that the entire AE team has been running for the past couple months, with great success, The gas chassis was the same chassis maifield tq'd the worlds with. For those who have all the updated parts already, this completes the package.....

im assuming the longer chassis equals longer wheelbase? whats the advantage to that? my buggy seems to handle better with the shorter wheelbase...

Hey Guys, Need a little advise.

Got my first outdoor 1/8 races coming up this weekend.

I've got a used rc8b that's been converted using the factory kit.

1. I need shock oil for the shocks. 10 hole pistons.

2. I need a set-up sheet for an large outdoor track. Looked at TA site and couldn't find an "e" setup that was what I needed.

3. Gearing for 4s, rx8/2050, w/ a 50 spur gear. Have 21 on it, but should be around 19.

4. I've got a set of m2 revolvers, Should work good outdoors? I also have some panther tires, not sure of the compound or style, panther isn't very good w/ the markings on their tires.

Thanks guys. Here's a video of the track.

I believe AE suggests to start with 30-35 shock oil.

The electric and nitro cars are the same "car" so the setup shouldn't really be different. If you want to look though. There is a setup guide in the back of the RC8be owners manual. I realize you don't have one being a conversion, but they are in PDF kn AEs site.

I can't comment much on the 50T spur. You'd have to put that in a calculator. Unless someone has experience.

And M2s should be good for loose outdoor.

Can anyone tell me how the techo chassis handles on the bE ? Is it worth the 130? Is the handling and weight difference that noticeable ?
