Getting into the 8th scale world

[BrianG]

I had the same question a while back. I sold my converted revo because it was kinda difficult to work on and the diffs were weak. I wanted something monstertruck-ish (ground clearance, durability, etc), but with ease of repairs and simplicity. So, I opted for a truggy that I jacked up the suspension a little. I ended up getting an xray XT8 truggy, replaced the shocks with Jamming X2 shocks (longer and bigger bore), and removed the sway bars (has little benefit when the suspension is pretty stiff. I couldn't be happier now. It is very durable and easy to fix when things do break. WOrks very well for bashing, but still works good on a track when I'm just playing around (not actually in a race).
