Hi all,

For months I have been thinking about getting an 1/8th nitro car and the time finally come when I decided I wanted to start racing 1/8th, so I sold up my 1/10 buggy gear and ordered the 8ight on Wednesday, the car was delivered on Thursday at 4pm, I had it finished by midday today. This car is truly great to build and for

Looking good - dining room table workbench of champions btw! We have the same protector thingie, I figure it's good enough to prevent mini me from scratching the table, then it's good enough for my RC's :)

Haha it's getting a bit cold on the night to be working in the garage so it to the dining room table i go lol

I am currently painting my practice shell, once I get used to off road racing I will get a shell painted by a prop painter but this one will do for now

I got into racing as well and i'm loving it. Can i just say i am running the same engine, servos and design bodyshell that you did (my colour schemes flo pink and met blue). it felt a bit weird when i was looking at forum. i didn't copy you as i built and was racing from beginning of November of this year.
