Official RC8 thread - Ponch - 10-06-2007
I know.
Just so bored with RC right now, no time for it either.
Official RC8 thread - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 10-06-2007
GQ johnny said it was easy to drive and he was alot faster with it just his first time out box stock, he didnt need any parts.
Parts will be available soon. I was pissed about the release date too, they changed alot of things and fixed alot of stuff; saxton said they didnt have any of these problems in testing so now itll get fixed. Just like mugen breaking arms when it first came out initially, not bashing just saying the problems will be taken care of. AE wont put their name on crap

If I don't get to run my cars every week, then I don't have as much fun, and when I go to run them again I normally do very badly the first weekend of running them again (I have a habit of overdirving my cars, when if I drive somthly then I will be faster).
Official RC8 thread - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 10-06-2007
i understand that, but i raced 16 weeks straight this summer, time for a break or ull get burnt out and not drive as well
Official RC8 thread - allan42r - 10-06-2007
holy chit you make my head hurt
Official RC8 thread - Evil3 - 10-06-2007
Try running differn't types of cars when you can, like an electric car just to change it up a little. (like me I run off-road in the summer, and on-road on carpet in the winter (and I might run some in-door at LH as I have some guys at my local track talked into racing out there))
Official RC8 thread - allan42r - 10-06-2007
i hear ya mike on gq,but he was running the losi. some can run well with that car like jimbo but every time i try to run the losi car it feels very unstable to me. i just dont care for it. so the ae car would feel alot better to gq knowing his style of driving.
Official RC8 thread - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 10-06-2007
he didnt like the losi either, he drives punched all the time
Official RC8 thread - allan42r - 10-06-2007

WFO....takes the win......
Official RC8 thread - allan42r - 10-07-2007
no wfo takes out the tubes lol.. saw a couple of ae cars run today, they didnt look to bad. chad (the faster one) said he wanted to work on the gearing and the shocks. the car was buzzing the tires and the shocks were not absorbing the landings on the jumps. with a little work on springs and oil this car will be very fast. it seemed to corner very well,speed, but the rear end was a little loose.. not too bad the first time out and chad normally runs electric. not bashing here mike so easy, count to ten before you beat me up.lol
Official RC8 thread - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 10-07-2007
no i know al, i think once people start running the car with a little better setup than the all over box setup it will be much better. I expect chad will have a bit of a learning curve coming from electric. 17th bell will be perfect for outdoor and i heard saxton saying to go up to 50 wt in the rear
Official RC8 thread - allan42r - 10-07-2007
had a great time with chad and sonny today. put some big bore shocks on and the car was really good,the motor had no low end so chad would real me in with that os speed,got to trade plastic with him.lol

did you look at your clutch shoes yet, they look like the gt2's only alum.
Official RC8 thread - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 10-08-2007
thats the shoes that came on the TTR same exact thing just a better material; i ran the GT2 shoes (which are actually NTC3 shoes) on my buggy for a long time super smooth
