Not sure. Gonna go practice tonight. Will be my first time ever running an 8th scale on track, but probably.

I'm assuming you mean at Fear Farm? Sorry, but do I know you?

thnkU!
Good work Caz, taking your time will pay off. But still look for screws getting loose. I had to use red on some screws.
I did the grease, it did not wrk for me, it turned to liquid.
Sanding worked for me on the front & rear not the center. I also have to use a gasket sealer on the center diff.

Thank you sir. I've read about specific screws, but I'll be sure to completely inspect often, thx.

I recently bought a rc8 roller got it very cheap it is very basic the shocks are plastic plsstic caps the towers only have 3 holes to move the shocks i was wanting to know whatt all you guys suggest for upgrades so i can get this thing to handle better i have about $300 to put into the buggy. Also does anyone know why it has plastic shocks and the 3hole towers was it a rtr or is it just an old version? Its in real good shape the chassis dont have a scratch on it iys like new.

I'm thinking it's the same body, except the electric one doesn't have the cutouts for the cooling head and fuel tank. My Punisher is the 0202, and it fits fine.

I bought a bulldog, to go with my T4 and my past buggies. Always used one for the most part, I like them alot better than the punisher.

Bought one, had it shipped to me. Painted it well for my skill. Put the body on the buggy, battery was all in the way. Had to hack up the front of my body to get it to set down around my battery. A simple search would of told me this...

Any plans for proline to release a electric RC8 body?

Sounds like you have a RC8e. They sold around 330$ new before the RC8be came out as a kit. Does the same thing that the FT RC8be does, just not near as pretty. I have one of each after some trading...

Mostly cause Team Grid hadn't released thiers yet. Team Grids setup uses your stock arms and AE's uses modified arms.
