SC8e

[Webbage]

For those of us that don't have the time or the money to maintain Nitro trucks stuff like this is an inspiration. I'm itching to see this sucker go.

I'm not anti-Nitro, if I was rich and had no job I'd probably run it, but I'm neither and The electrics I have cost me more than enough.

There's nothing like just picking up a remote, a battery, and a truck and going out and playing for a half hour. No tuning, no messing, no after-run (save for remembering to unplug the battery!) and we're good to go. I'm not racing so I don't need uber-serious gear (save for my competition crawler and it doesn't suffer the kinda damage a comp racer would) . I just wanna mess around mostly.

Chip are the SC8 wheels real beadlocks?

SweetD, the rear bead is glue on, but I think the front bead is a true beadlock. I have been getting slam with 16 hr days at work and not time to really check it out. The SC8 manual shows them to be a true beadlock, I will get back to you on this.

We gona run this weekend???:idea: HUH??? :idea: are we?!?!? :idea: ARE WE?!?!?! :idea:

Down boy.















Yep, bring some hot chocolate and we will shread some tires.

Thanks for checking. If they are true beadlocks I'll pick up a set for my winter project.

Did you ever figure out how much clearance you have for the lipo pack under the roll cage?

I should have plenty, figers crossed. I had a good friend to order the battery at his cost for me, I have to go and pick it up. I saved 125.00 off of a 400.00 dollar pack, which is frikin great. IMO

Awesome truck! But I have a question. Why are you nitro haters on RC Nitro Talk? :

That's definately a sweet truck! Leave it nitro

but working on these things is as enjoyable as driving them for me.

although, electrics are gobs of fun. It's the realism factor for us I think. Maybe someday I'll have a 1:1 project car but for now my nitro r/c's give me my gearhead fix.

I like to drive things that are bushless.

I prefer to ride

at least "that's what she said"...

If you want realism, get a gasser.

 

[BMILLER]

so video this weekend?

Yep, if Alpine will shoot the video, while I drive.

Ahh. internal combustion is internal combustion in my book. Bottom line... its an engine, not a motor.

I actually like Nitro as a non-user, it's kinda like 2-stroke motor bikes, it's got it's own unique smell and sound that can't be beat.

That doesn't mean I'll get one any time, I'm with Chip, I likes me brushless, but I can see why people love Nitro.

C'mon chip lets see it go soon

 

[Lessen]

Definately a cool truck though. I want to see it in action baby!
