Electrified XT8!

Yo Sower, been a while.
I haven't driven the other models mentioned but they all look good to me on the track. I can comment that the CRT is tough as nails, but does need some mods to make it turn with the best of em and you need to dial it in from it's stock settings. You'll need to reduce it's width between the wheels with no-offset rims and 5-6mm offset hubs. This brings it in line with an 8T. You'll also need to trim back the steering stops on the front hubs to get more swing on the tires. This brings it up to speed. Haven't found a truggy yet that out does mine on the local track.
The 8T layout makes for an easy to balance conversion though.

Just my 2 cents...........
