Electric 8th Scale Buggy Racing (6mins unedited) - 08.12.2009, 09:42 AM

Electric 8th Buggy Racing from Glenwood RC... this footage was shot the weekend of the Glorcs event.
Its in raw format and contains a bonus clip at the end of Kyle Inman's "bagged" RC8e driving in the mud.

lol muddy plastic bag with wheels and wing :)

few buggies had really bad rear suspension setup :)

most people need to learn how to fly these things :) not using drag brake and releasing throttle at the right time is the key

That guy who lost his body had a nice line going for him. His throttle control was about stop on. Looks like a beautiful track!

Nice track! And I think the cars look fine, and there's even some good driving in there too, by the silver car anyway. :)

Cool video, I enjoyed. Great looking track too.


I retired from RC, now life is all about guns and long range shooting.

I wish I could have enjoyed racing on Sunday in the main, but I cooked my Neu motor that weekend... the motor's temp was 355 and smoked for nearly 20mins after I cut the power. Afterward I noticed that two of the three wire's insulation had worn at the backplate enough that the wires made contact with the can and was shorting out with every bump until the point of failure. Expensive meltdown, I've been wanting the castle 2200 anyway... LOL!! Lucky I didn't fry my ESC or the 5S lipo...
