Ponch · (#6 (**permalink**))

outdated-rc8 has the jumping and accel of the 8 and the steering of a mugen.

Than How Does The Losi 8 Compare To The Other Buggies On The Market Must Be Rtr. Why The Rc 8 Cant Be The Best.

RC8's RTR version has the most kit parts of any RTR out there, same material quality etc. losi 8 still has a lot of issues, im sure ill get flamed for that one, but just walk around at the track and look at all the broken losi's. Rc8 drives alot better as well. There really are no other RTR's I would consider than these 2. kyosho readysets are GARBAGE, sportwerks are alright buggies but starting to be outdated

I agree with Mike and Ponch the Losi is an "ok" buggy but needs upgrades, and as far as I'm concerned the RC8 only needs an engine and some better electronics to hang with the best, where as the Losi needs that and much more.

if you never owned a losi 8ight please dont say stupid shit like that. matt your worng about the rc8. pmhours i own the losi 8ight and have driven the rc8. allthough I love the 8ight i will admit they have a few issues that need to be worked out, but its a great buggy. the rc8 handles kinda like a losi and has the steering of a mugen and more. allthough it doesnt have as quick as acceleration. if i were you i would chose between the pro 8ight and rc8. If you are not that smooth definately go with the rc8 because that car can be driven both smooth and out of control. the losi 8ight cant be pushed or it does shitty. and matt you havent driven an rc8 have you?

The Losi 8 Is Sounding To Be An Alright Choice For Bashing Around, But Rc8 In The One You Need To Race With. What Do You Mean By Pushed? Over Power On The Motor Or Steering Control In And Out Of The Corners. What Kind Of Upgrades Are Needed? Can They Be Bought To Help Get The Issues Under Control?

Oh God Please Don't Type Like This Anymore.

It's REALLY annoying.... Sorry.

Capitals go at the beginning of the sentence, not all the way thru it

PMHOURS · (#13 (**permalink**))

Sorry it really makes upset that the caps on or off. but the real ? is the rtr losi 8 is the a better but then the rtr rc8.

Czech-it-Out Graphics · (#14 (**permalink**))

it is not better

All the people i have talked to that have switched form the 8b to rc8 say that the RC8 has better acceleration and has more steering but stable like a mugen

I've never driven either

If I were to go buy one of the two......AE all the way man, only downfall, it has a non legal race engine, but guys are using the rc8rs chassis braces and shock caps on the rc8, so whats that tell you, the rc8rs is dialed man.

PMHOURS · (#16 (**permalink**))

The rc8 a better car the handling for races right, but what about the below average rc basher want to be racer. The losi 8 can' t be the bad for the racing sceen.

You cant go wrong with either car, they are pretty much the same quality wise and money wise.
