Not many pros run there vehicles box stock .



And Ty for you information who was in the finals ran his D8 buggy totaly stock so there is no need for mods to be done for the club racer to be competitive.

Look i'm not brand loyal and will buy whatever car AE , Losi ,Mugen etc and have owned most and all have there weak and good points and i enjoy them all , but this just shows that manufacturers can produce world championship vehicles for a great price and should force other manufacturers to reduce the prices of future kits . I think HB will be a winner with new racers coming into the hobby .
Lets see a new racer to the hobby walks into a hobby store and sees a racing buggy for $850 ( K car ) and another for $370 which has world champion on the box , which do you think he will buy

I just said that because people have been saying that all of the HB drivers have been running there cars out of the and his was not box stock i was just pointing that out...

Only comment on the non box thing is that everyone is going on that a $380 can beat all these others buggies at the worlds but in actually reality, it is not the $380 kit.

Oh and the Kyosho box will more than likely say 7 time world champ or however many world championships they have won

I was looking at the D8 when the first prototype pics hit the web and it was looking like a very nice vehicle. If I didn't have a XB8EC already I would get a D8. I also have liked the D4 for a long time as well.

Let's be realistic guys - whether you are talking about 1:1 racing or 1:8 racing it all about the driver. Slow is fast and fast is all over the place.

I was at LimeRock race track in CT about a year ago with my TT and it was my first time. I was a total retard going around the track trying to drive the sh*t out of it. I was had a older 60s guy join me who had been driving that track for over 40 years and he got behind the steering wheel of my car and slammed my times by more than 10 seconds a lap and it felt like he was driving as slow as the turtle crossing the track that caused the black flag to come out at one point was going - but he was slow and smooth and I was, well, a retard.

My point is that there are about 5-6 strong brands out there for any particular model type and utimately it comes down to the driver and the conditions of the race.

Give a pro a Hyundai and he'll beat the snoot out of you in a V8 M3.
