My RC8T CE brushless build (tekno V4)

[thzero]

doh... I swear it wasn't marked that yesterday, either that or a) I read what I wanted to read or b) I was back in April of last year!

Glad I got both a 1520 and 1518 then.

I searched for alot of info, and found the D8T and RC8T CE to be some of the toughest of them all, if you dont buy the older MBX5T, or CRT (those must be bought used, and i wanted a new car..)

The mugen MBX6T are known to be very good, but i dont believe they have as strong diffs as the RC8T/D8T. Maybe i`m wrong, but i`ve read ALOT about it so thats what i found out atleast. The mugens are supposed to have minor problems on breaking A arms also, when bashed hard (comes from a guy that has had both, i just gotta take his word on it)

The RC8T (must be a CE edition with the upgraded shoks ) was chosen over the D8T, because it`s easier to get part on ebay for it from chop shops ;) And i know you like that too That, and i havent spoke to many people that actually BASH theire D8T.
You know what i mean, not all bashers bash like we do :)

And before race guys start ranting me, i know they are all VERY good on the track, and the mugens/d8t might even be a tad better for some of you, but i did not choose my truggy for racing. I`m a basher that MIGHT test it on the track some day

PS: i`m thinking about selling my e-revo now, and buy a D8T as a second car ;) Gotta have 2 cars right? hehe..

At least. :)

Just a quick vid of a jump i like to do alot, so you dont think i just pussy around on flat ground ;)
This is around 13m, but i`ve done longer ones there.. Problem is i hit flat landing if i go much further..

This is a jump i do almost every day, MANY times a day.. Not broken down once ;) 3 packs here, just today..

And a not so good jump ;) But i saved it, and the throttle was used hard

BTW for gearing, now i had 69km/h gearing calculated with 3.7V, 0 ballooning, and measured 76km/h on a GPS..
At 3.9v 0.1 ballooning, this would be spot on :) (and fairly correct with taped truggy tires i guess)

Good info there...

Hey tell me thzero, the anti squat you changed to "4", what bushing did you use? I reckon you ment 4 degrees, and if i read the manual correct, the 1 dot bushing is 3dg, so does that mean you used a 2 dot upwards?

[thzero]

Yeah thats what I did.

I need to get a friend with a camera, so i can actually control the car haha..
I did the same jump several times afterwards though, with great landings ;)
