8th scale anyone?
i know i know, 2wd 1/10th cars will always be the most fun, easier to work on, and just all around best but the last year or so ive been dabbling with 1/8th scale and i have to say it has its good moments (when your not dropping half a grand to get it going)
so is anyone else into 1/8th scale? what you run? 'lectric or nitro?

1/8 onroad, offroad, nitro or electric what you talkin about. 1/8 onroad vintage is somewhat spoken around here.

Re: 8th scale anyone?
I've been running the RC8, 8B, 8T, and now the 8.2. All nitro, but have been thinking of doing an electric conversion on one.. I had a Kyosho 8th On-Road Porsche 959 when they first came out, but stupidly sold it.....Wish I had THAT one back!

Re: 8th scale anyone?
I race my mbx6 during the outdoor season - awesome piece of racing equipment, but nitro has become too demanding lately maintenance-wise. Now the season is almost over and it's electric 10th indoor time, but chances are next year I'll run 8th electric as this is more family-schedule-friendly 
I do have a few vintage 8th scalers too.
- NiB Mugen Sting
- Two Mugen MRX-2, one my former racer, another one new in parts with chassis signed by Adrien Bertin
- New Built Great Vigor / Hobby Lobby Hunter
- NiB Graupner GepardIII (with broken front bumper
)
- MRC Rabbit Expert project
- 2 MRC / JMC Bullit's, one of them my very own from when I was a kid
8th scale is cool, but 10th electric is still sexier
