Traded one of my Slash buggies for this...

[DwightSchrute]

I traded one of my slash 4x4 buggies for a SWEET RC8E. This thing is almost brand new and I got it for a straight up trade, roller for roller.

check it out:









i feel like i got a really good deal. i thought about going FT on all the parts that i could, but i might just get the threaded shock bodies and run the shit out of it the way it is.

Great Deal, Lucky You !

[DwightSchrute]

yeah, i think i was pretty fortunate. i gotta figure out which esc i wanna put in there and then i'm gonna need a decent servo.

[Bondonutz]

You need a ESC ?
I have a Mamba Max FS, can send pic.

dude sweet ride! what a trade!! had a full set of the threaded bodies, but cant remember what i did with them. personally i would stick with the ones you got, way better shock caps then the 2 piece deal, and easier to get equal preload. do have a set of the ft carbon towers in great condition if you would like them, just pm me.

[DwightSchrute]

thanks for the offers. i think i'm gonna save for a new MMP and use that. I ordered some new aluminum shock caps and those ought to be here tomorrow hopefully.

what i am having no luck finding is the shock retainers...you know the clips that give more spring tension? i can't find any of those anywhere. if anyone knows where i can get some of those i'd really appreciate it.

thanks!!

No prob, AE just updated their website so It's a little easier to get around and find stuff now.

Have you ordered your spacers yet? I just built a RC8T-e, but had the threaded shocks to go on with the build. I would be glad to send you the pre-load spacers. Just send me a PM.


PS Sweet deal on the buggy too!

sorry i didn't see this sooner than today...i really appreciate the offer but i got the spacers 2 days after Bondonutz posted the link.

the buggy is all done now and is sporting a fieago 5XL with an MMP. im really glad i decided to give the RC8 another chance. it's a great buggy.

Hey man, glad to hear the buggy is working well, no problamo on the spacers, just thought I would offer them up.
