The "perfectly balanced" can mean anything. Perfectly to who. Marketing BS IMO.

As far as the differences go. It appears that AE built the RC8Te using the same parts as the RC8T RTR truggy. stamped aluminum towers, plastic chassis braces, steel turnbuckles and tie rods vs the titanium ones on the Fatory team kit, plastic steering top plate, etc...

It looks like a nice truggy for a very nice prce, but my opinion is if you plan to race it to go for the Fatory team kit and put the RC-Monster conversion on it. You can sell the "nitro parts" and probably get back a decent buck to try and bring the price difference down a bit. But if you are just trying to experiment and see if you like it it could ba a nice option to keep the initial investment down. But by the time you buy the motor, esc, batteries and charger the price is still up there to get into it.
