  1. Flux if you want to drive, nitro if you like fine tune needless all the time
  2. I thought strada tc have same dimensions as tt01
  3. Tamiya xv01 seems to be good rally purpose chassis just not sure how much better over yours modified tt02. I love how capable 1/8 buggy is but all bodies are cartoon like out of proportion (just ugly imho). Now I'm biased with wr8 as I own few but I love how scale it looks (when stationery or run in anger ) really tough and capable chassis( it takes everything I throw at it exempt tall grass) I agree with Tomr it's bit pricey ( I think Ken block licensed body cost fortune ) Still used wr8 and xv01 costs are similar. Watch some you tube videos and see what you like
  4. In theory all 1/10 buggy tires will fit wr8 on road rims, one thing to be aware is outside diameter (anything above 85mm od will look out of scale and you risking damaging bodyshell). Only tires for 1.9 rims that I'm aware of are HB beams (discontinued and hard to find in Europe )https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HB-Racing-61757-Beams-SC-Tires-Pink-Super-Soft-Hot-Bodies-Shortcourse-Truck-/283970819983?_trksid=p2385738.m4383.l4275.c10
  5. Good stuff Brandon, how you like FPV? I've put camera in Wr8 recently had tons of fun. https://youtu.be/NjZ2zgnFXjU You can check videos on my chanel if you like.
  6. Good question I've sent Streth countless messages but no answer
  7. I've also bought center diff insert that makes car front bias 4x4 that printed with steel that was 19£ plus 30£ for 2 covers they add vat and shipping and it cost 60£ for all.
  8. Thanks J. A.Son. I never liked drive train lash and after few rebuilds due to premature wear on front center shaft and front diff input while rest was absolutely fine I thought maybe cvd boots and graphite grease would help so after some research I found those https://www.fastrax-rc.com/index.php?_route_=fastrax-8th-scale-silicone-cvd-joint-cover, it make wr8 less noisy for sure. Few years ago I found that shop https://www.shapeways.com/shops/kalle-racing?section=hpi+WR8&sort= with some nice 3d designs for wr8 but it was expensive after they add all extra costs so I've contacted designer and he agreed with me that it is expensive while designer getting penuts so he put them here https://i.materialise.com/en/shop/designer/mr-uueekend it's cheaper here but you need to spend minimum 30£ so bought two (cheaper than one on shapeways but well I got two cars😁) white print was cheapest so I've decided to painted myself, really good design and quality print, snug fit easy to install, only cutting required is small cut to battery tray that's close to spur gear. Hopefully this mod will extend service intervals. One thing to mention when using cvd boot standard size servo may not fit.
  9. Hello fellow Wr8 fans I've recently got center diff covers. Absolutely love completely sealed drive train
  10. Are Gen ace 3s 5500mha 25c  still available?
  11. Hi mate. I'm interested in hover board. Can you tell me what the capacity of battery and your location? Thanks a lot Douge
