Here's some pic's of the RC8 (I found them on xrc)

^^thats my pic^^ looks like a good buggy IMO

it looks alright I guess, not too sure about the carbon ackerman and shock towers, it looks kinda toyish tbh, but im sure it will be very competitive

Well they were right when they said they weren't coming out with anything new...

like losi...

that is a damn fine looking buggy i cant wait now!!!

Looks like an oversized rc18b

even has a nice little hack guard on the back lol

It's only going to be used when it's getting lapped by Losi's. :p:

good luck with that.

I think theres alotta good right there. I think the wing setup is totally gay, wish they would just leave the pegs and be done with it. Body blows dog balls too, but im sure with Jason ruona being an AE factory team driver a Jconcepts bod will be out shortly. The shocks are bad ass, 4mm shafts and threaded (even though im not a big fan of the threaded shock bodies just yet) Looks like they kept the TTR throttle linkage and brake setup with both brake levers on top which is nice to see. Tons of droop as well. Cant tell too much from the pics about the tank. The airfilter is nice although ill prolly stick with the PL one. Front bumper looks funky as hell but hey if it works i guess. Hopefully the battery box is big enough for a hump pack....

i heard they have named it the mikey guard

Looking at the wing, you can change the angle of it by adjusting the lower aluminum support.

POS




























hahahahahah j/p

all buggies hace that for the most part i dunno about losi. I just dont like the idea of 4 M3 screws holding in a wing that needs to support a 7lb car off a 30 ft jump lol

I couldn't tell you if the 8ight has it or not without taking a look at it, but I know mugen has it on the pieces that attach to the wing.

as does kyosho jammin ttr etc

9other than the body I like the looks of it. Too bad it'll cost an arm and a leg

Looks ok

i doubt it, AE stuff has always been affordable

Looks pretty good to me...... can't wait to check one out up close and in person, better yet see it on the track
