Thanks.

I enjoy reading these build threads. Keep it detailed with loads of pics please:thumbsup:

Yes looking forward to build pictures.

Will do guys :)

Lipo safety bags have been ordered aswell :)

Thanks.

when are you expecting the kit to arrive? I want to see lots of pictures.

Well i ordered it last night from APEX models. But they said they didnt have any in stock and they would order them in (would take 1 or 2 days) then ship to me.

So i think it should be here around Thursday ish?

This week and next week is my Gcse mock exam week and i need the car ready by this Sunday (due to the last winter series race) :(

Going to be a difficult week this!

So! This'll be a short and sweet build thread then! LOL

Looking forward to seeing things take shape.

Hahaha :)

Awesomeness at its best.lol

Well slight problem. I can not built it this week due to exams, and as my mum and dad are paying like 70% of it they say i can only have it on Christmas day :cry: lol.

But not long !

Stay tuned :)

what be leccys using? you have imperial tools already?
hopefully yours won't be plagued with the slop rc8's suffer with.

1st of all they now come in metric not Imperial...
And every rc8 driver i have spoken to love their old rc8 so the new one will be better :)

I have driven the old rc8 my self, loved it.

With 24+ championships under their belt i doubt there car is "sloppy".

Thanks.

Right guys. Starting building last night as my exams are FINISHED!! no exams next week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pics coming soon...

You talked them around then ? :lol:

You won't have anything to open and play with on Christmas day now :(

Shell has been send to my sponsor (outlaw graphics) for painting.

It took me just over 8 hours ( considering i started working after school and today) .

I think its turned out very good for my first Built :)

Next race=next year :( but it will give me enough time to break the car in and fine tune anything i want.

Thanks.
