so whats the final say on rx8 vs mmm...

[hootie7159]

If the MMM wasn't working out for you, then you should have sold your MMM combo and bought a tekin rx8/losi/hobbywing/reedy combo...it's kinda steep to blame ONE company for your disinterest in 1/8 electric when there are plenty of other motor/esc combos put there...and if you were having all of these "fire-ball" MMM's there has got to be some sort of "setup" problem that either contributed to the failure or caused it entirely...and I agree that there should be fire extinguisher's at the track anyways...and by calling the MMM a "potential" fireball, you might as well call your 5b/t a "potential" wrecking" ball lol...ever been hit by a 1/5 scale at full speed?lol...anywyas, not flaming you or anything but THIS hobby always has potential risks bc everthing is getting bigger/faster/more powerful...I'm just saying that you gave up on 1/8th scale too easy and there are other options out there.... :)
