AE RC8 Conversion?

[Mallanaga]

so... now that the new RC8 is out... any plans for a conversion? this looks to be one sick buggy. so far i only have a Revo (offroad), and an F201 (onroad). never been much into buggies, but this RC8 has me intrigued...

it's a shame i've been converted over to electric.

Mike?

I know of a certain Monster that has an RC8 already on the workbench

thats very good to know. I am thinking of picking up one of those or possibly the hyper 8.5 to replace my losi.

[voice = "best evil"]eeeeexcellent, Dafni...[/voice]

you'll just have to keep this thread updated when the time comes, yes?

Thats great too hear. My Xterminator, although it is quite new as an electric car, the buggy overall is quite old since it used to be N***o (had to bleep out the bad word). I was looking at the RC8 as well. Looks to be a solid built buggy.

My bet is that it won't be too long before that thing is finished!

Out? Where?

Tower says "Late Oct.:" http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXRBR4&P=ML
Ultimate Hobbies says "On order:" http://www.ultimatehobbies.com/istar...=ASC80900!1007
Hobby People (the place I work) has it on order too.....: http://www.hobbypeople.net/gallery/383280.asp


So, where exactly is it availible? Not bashing you, just looking forward to the darn thing finally being publicly released. I've seen them on ebay, but that's one thing, seeing them in a brick and mortar or "real" online store would be nice.

Odd thing is, our Hobby People store got a slew of parts on the last shipment we got Thursday, it'd be sweet if we got one this Thursday.......or anytime soon even.

David, looks like you guys missed out. Our store has the RC8, but only one of them.

I got the last one from Impakt RC. It was delivered yesterday. Gonna run it Nitro for a little while then convert it. Maybe as soon as Mike comes out with the mount!
