Should be interesting, too...the X1-CRT will be going head to head with three other truggies...two X1s and one X2. ALL of them are running the Novarossi Hollinger Edition motors.

should be interesting to say the least. I had a blast with the MMM/NEU combo, but now it's time to try something different. I'll be sure to let you guys know how it went.


I'll try to see if I can take pictures, too.

Keep us posted.

I'm waiting for them to come in stock at my LHS, they've got one or two on back order. The Buggy I'm putting it in is a works-in-progress and every other one of my RCs is broken right now so it'll be a while before I get back to work on it. RX8 should be available by the time I actually need it.

just a little snippet:

got all my soldering done for the RX8, can't believe I ran out of solder for the motor wires. not too sure how that happened.

ennyhoo, had enough solder to do the wires on the RX8. I don't know why Tekin recommends a dinky 4mm connector...that don't make any sense to me. On top of that, there were no connectors supplied. I mean, it's probably just a tiny little gripe, but I would think that for the amount of money we spend on a combo they would have at least humored me with some connectors. Meh...that's just me, though. I used the CC 6.5mm connectors instead.

Since I couldn't run the 2650, I just hooked the RX8 up to the trusty 'ol 1.5D. Strapped in a NeuEnergy 3S and away we went.

I did not fiddle with ANY of the settings on the RX8. Plugged it into my HotWire, but it wasn't able to pull it up. Odd...guess I'll look into later on.

And so...what happened?
