Jumped on the 1/8th scale bandwagon when the RC8B3.1e came out, everyone here runs 1/8th outdoors pretty much exclusively. I was a bit apprehensive at first, but now I understand why everyone runs them.

I love 1/10th more than anything, but these cars are insanely fast and on a large outdoor track, it is too much fun!

And yes, it is just a spray bombed body, I fully expected to destroy it learning how to drive this summer but surprisingly it held up well, and trust me I tried my best to wreck it :lol:
