Most important have fun with your RC8T!!!

lets suggest I would buy the MMM V3 here on RC monster :) and lets suggest I would have some issues in the future with the V3, than warranty is dealed with RC Monster, in the US, so in that case that wouldn't be a problem?
(only the shippingcosts of course)



+ I am still haveing much onroad fun with my modded Rustler so I am not in a hurry to buy it, (nor do I have the money)
But I would go for the offroad truggy somewhere in February :)

My advise : put this on hold and get some experience first.

Good advise!!!

And LE version options to the Factory Team edition version is for non pro's not an upgrade.. but a marketing action to make extra sales as sales went down and the results of Mayfield were an opportunity to gain attention and interest...
The difference with the Electro roller version however has a few points that would need upgrade. And yes import = importtaxes. Calculate on 30% for administrationcosts and salestax what makes the price of import. Also consider the shippingcosts. Net prices US seem cheap but once you order and need to pay all extra costs you'll see that it is not that much cheaper as buying in europe at the right adresses.
The 1940 lehner may be a little bit underpowered. Should be a 1960 or 2240 type. 1940 would does well on a buggy but a truggy is quite a bit heavier.

i would go for a MMM or an EZrun 150A not the Tekin cose they have a weak elektronic contruction.
And if you are in europe and your MMM brakes down, send it to the USA not to the benelux distributor cose changes are that you will never see it back.

lol, I have heard about that horros story ;)

I would buy it from RC Monster of course, they have one of the sharpest prices I've seen...

You are right. I've noticed that the service / added value of the distribution system of CC here has no added value. In fact it is a negative added value... Make things go slower. A mans word is a mans bond... but not in this construction.... a lot of promises, lots of words but al seems to be bullshit..
So better order by the cheaper US i-net shops as RC-monster (and others) and with the receipt CC will help you out also and much quicker and clientfriendly service.

The EZ run 150 is also good value for the money. In fact extremely good price/quality ratio. I do not know how the produktsupport is but for the price of it and noticing how they perform and their reliability I wouldn't care about the warranty. A friend has one after a MMMv3 got killed in action and it work absotely great & reliable (and now waiting for more than 3?? months for repairement thanks to the great service of the distributor).

And 3th for if you want a good service in Europe than MGM-compro is a good choice. Also great customer service and 2 years hasslefree warranty. Just read the warranty rules first and treat your ESC as one should.: http://mgm-compro.com/pdf/product-warranty.pdf

My car is done:

For pics see : http://picasaweb.google.com/nardcox86/RC8Te#

I know that car!

Did you tested it on a race track?

Small detail, please put some extra shrink around the bullit connectors of the MMM! If one motorcable comes off now you have a problem

[Nard Cox]

Nopes, no tracks nearby and nobody to drive with

How do you mean? So that if one connector would come loose it would stay in the car because it's connected to the other cables? Sounds like a smart plan, thanks!

Here my first little video:
RC8Te first movie

Also drove yesterday with three big scales and one nitro HPI Trophy 4.6. Unfortunately only some on-road driving, but we had fun!

please read your PM!

[Nard Cox]

That is not a 'small detail'...
And for the car... it needs some adaptations for getting to make it bullit proof for a track. Get out the extreme flex and the plastic shocks....
Brushless racer is I expect well known with that too. Might be that he knows the former owner.

[Nard Cox]

The former owner was called 'Marco'.

NIX, I didn't receive the chassis braces yet, maybe your wife forgot to post them ?

[NIX]

Better put no names of people not involved in 'open' discussions.

She normally not forgets. All to post was put in the 'outbox'. But I know that she was too busy monday and yesterday. I will give her a reminder - mail.

There are quite some good tracks around: Monchen Gladbach (D, only of hearing), Mach-One, Ormco OSS and NBR Mol (B). Last one can be very tough on your equipment. Start driving at a track when you feel comfortable on driving as you do now and know your car well.
Be carefull with your lipo's when you go offroad as te C-rating/mAh a cell is quite low in relation to the motor you use. Also be sure to use good connectors.
