RX8 or MMM combo?

Haha yeah its always a hard decision, having extra $$$ is always a plus! If you join up to tower's super saver club for like 15 bucks I think it is you can get a 60 dollar discount off of 300, and free shipping. Just throwing it out there

If the MMM has been fine for you and you want to get a micro esc too, go that route. However, if the MMM has not quite cut it for you and you want something a little better, then go with the RX8.

In the end I highly doubt the RX8 will help you to win more races than the MMM and from what I have read it is more about feel than the actual results.

I never said it will make you win more races. Its just more consistent, more perfected system. And with that you get a smaller lighter ESC, and super nice motors, rebuildable, and have solder tabs (which I like)

As tight as money is right now I may just pick up a Monster ESC with a Tekin motor because I really want to try out their motors. They sound like they're actually a little better than Neus and I love my Neus.

There you go. I know a few people going that route and are liking it. And if you ever wanted you could do a RX8 to pair up with there motor down the road if you wanted to
