wade7575 · **Tekin RX8 and Mugen Truggy Question. -** 09.15.2014, 09:38 PM

I'm looking at getting into 1/8th scale and I have always wanted a Mugen 1/8th scale don't know why they just always seemed to be built really well.

What I was wondering is what are the Tekin Gen 2 RX8 ESC's like,I was thinking about getting an ESC Motor Combo.I'm not going to be racing but I wanted to get something that will run pretty fast but not un-controllable,I'd like to be able to pull wheelies without to much effect but not have some power it's stupid like some E-Maxx's I have seen that want to wheelie all the time and you barely touch the throttle.

Also should I run a 14.8 volt pack.

I was also wondering about tires for 1/8th scale does anyone other then Proline offer tires and if so are there any out there that offer a tire that will last along time and is more for backyard bashing or are there any other tires not meant for an 1/8th scale Truggy but can be used that will last longer.
