If you run a front overdrive or rear under drive that will allow the front wheels to pull you out of corners, would benefit most on loose tracks.
The Clicker helps by allowing you to turn into corners better by allowing the front wheels to free spin while you are hitting the brakes allowing the back tires to lock a little and slide you around tight corners similar to how a 2 wheel drive vehicle would turn a corner.
So would you would reccomend using these in combination or only indivdually?

For example, what combination (if any) would you suggest for running on a medium/loose/loamy track with 1/8th scale jumps?

Can you run the Tekin RX8 with a 540 motor?

It's well worth the $20.

with a 2s lipo you can just jump a plug off the lipo into your rx, lots of people do this. Just make sure to use a small extension on the rx wire and cut the center wire to disable the onboard bec.

Rick at AE said the LRP servo's will need an extension if you put the receiver in the box.

Default VIDEO PLEASE

For anyone that has theirs built already can you post a close up video on what it sounds like when you throttle it, this is only my 3rd kit I've ever built so I wanted to make sure I did mine right, I'll try and take a video of mine asap, but my cell phone died and its charging and I can't find my freaking video camera......
