Question: Differences between the RC8e, RC8be and RC8e team?

[nvxwax]

Ok so i picked up a RC8 with a E conversion, I know nothing about the 8th scale buggy's and wanted to know what the differences are.

The RC8 i picked up looks to have some addon parts but i wanted to know what is missing that the team version has.


Here is the buggy i grabbed, I'm not sure how good i did on price, it was an impulse buy.

I asked a similar question and got some good info here:

As far as differences from what I understand the only drawbacks I have seen are the racespec or rtr rc8b. They don't have best shocks, turnbuckles, shocktowers, etc. but that is just from another board. I don't own one so I can't give first hand knowledge. From what it looks like you have some nice aluminum hopups on it but the part I like about yours is that you had the gas and now its converted but have the parts to do either. Not a bad price either. Kinda in the ballpart from what I've been seeing for similar setups. Let us know how it looks when you get it.

Thanks Todd,

I will post some pics when it arrives, I plan to use this as a basher around the house, My yard is like a mindfield lol

1/8 scale buggy/truggy makes for some nice bashers IMHO. Either that or tmaxx, savage type trucks. My yard is kinda a minefield also at times so the bigger the better. Also works great for the beanfield when they picked last week...not so much the cornfield though
