Can't really go wrong with a 8ight, how's part support for u?

 

[Thrasher]

They are very good. If you like your 5b there is nothing about it you wont like.

 

[DougStar]

There are most of the spares and optio parts available ?? This LHS dose horizon hobbys but the don't do 1/5?

 

[DougStar]

The choice of motor is pretty limited to dynamtie, OS or novarossi.
Probably woul go novarossi?

 

[evssv]

ho no bro.....nitro....agree awesome platform the 8......but nitro....

 

[DougStar]

Never owned one so wouldnt mind trying
Plus this 8x looks well sexy?

 

[evssv]

go for it dude?...only way u'll every know if u do like it?...

 

[DougStar]

 

[evssv]

me....I'll never own a nitro again.. .been there done that

 

[DougStar]

I got so much BS happening on my plate at the moment
That a new rig is so far down the road ...... that this is all about making conversation

 

[evssv]

??...I've never owned a 1/8th 8ight buggy/truggy.....came close a good few times? but as i hyper7 buggy i thought no point.....?

 

[crucialRC]

Get it Doug. It would probably be the best platform for a basher buggy. Nitro's only a pain if your doing it wrong. It's all about tuning. I'm building an Xray XT8 and XB8 right now. I wanna do some track time and around my way 1/8 scale is the only way to do it. Even then, I have to travel 1.5hrs to go to a nitro track.

 

[DougStar]

I'd have to save big time $1500/1800 to get up and running?

Yeah, good nitro ain't cheap either.

 

[DougStar]

But maybe take bites of it buy the kit but dish rims servos........then motor pipe starter box
But @ the moment it's just a pipe dream?

 

[crucialRC]

How much is the kit out there?

 

[DougStar]

R11500=$790

 

[crucialRC]

R11500=$790
