awe come on, buy mine, its ready to go! im not selling cuz i dont like it...
xb8s are sooooo much easier to make changes on... wanna change rear toe on a k car ,you need to take the whole rear end off, xb8 is 2 screws... and a .25 cent part instead of 30 bux.

Also on top of the Kyosho price, add $70 bucks for cnc knuckles. Cast Kyoshos are crap. Also you get no aluminum toe plates etc. I also am not sure if the new sp2 comes with the new center braces or the tie rod type. If they are the older type you need to replce those.
But either way you need to add hop ups. The jammin does come with aluminum rear toe and front kick up plate. Everything else is Carbon fiber or cnc. Liek I said before the up grades I woudl get for the jammin are cnc radio posts, and wing stays and the steering plate. About $40 worth of hop ups. Look around you can get a FTE NIB for around 500.00

Tune, if ya need hop-ups for the K-car Ill help you out. Help with anything you need about the car also. You will love the car man, trust me. You dont need all those hop-ups anyway, Sonny O runs the stock plastic and has never had a problem. The Jammin car is good but you will be paying more in the long run as it wears very fast. Rich will be running Kyosho along with DOM, Johnny, Sonny and myself. Johnny has made a complete turn around in his driving now that he has got a K-car, ask him. So have I for that matter.

Everyone keeps saying The Jammin wears out fast. But I think that is with the first batches. Jammin has been really on the ball as far as listening to customer complaints and have had many running changes to continue to strive for an excellent buggy. The outdrive problem is resolved, they just revised the battery box to make it more like the mugen with the hump in it for the AA pack. The rear uprights have just been revised also.
But as Joe and others have said they are all great buggies and you will be happy with any choice I am sure.
Also it doesn t matter to me what you buy, and I am glad to see you getting into scale. I just want to share the info I have learned about the Jammin since I have had it and the Kyosho.
LOL, if you notice everyone is pushing the buggy they drive.... So of course we all have the best buggy.

He Loves that motor man. That S7 is awesome Modded. I lightened the clutch shoes up on it alittle for him too. He is very happy with everything. RB's are kick azz motors and i really like them, although when i was a newb i hated the S7 i had because i couldnt tune in a damn music radio let alone a motor. I know you were too busy smoking everyone else on the track Mikey, but Johnny ran a perfect race. Me and Sonny were very impressed, he finished third i think. You were gone punkazz, nobody was gonna catch you either. Good runs.

I say go with a small motor. And the k-car is a great car.

OS21RG worked really well for me when I drove 1/8, plenty of power for it to do what you want it to do.

Corey what motor you running?
Help me pick an 1/8 scale! - Rodzo - 07-01-2006
I'm new to the 1/8th buggies as well. I just got the Sportwerks Turmoil ARR with the .21. Put my own servos and stuff in, and I love it! Raced it the first time this last Thursday. Break-in was easy and smooth, and it ran perfect at the track!
Help me pick an 1/8 scale! - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 07-01-2006
I would recommend an RB for ANYONE who is just getting into racing, as well as those serious racers. Not enough high rev low end to get u into trouble, very easy to drive smooth, I have driven one for 3 years and love them, most i got was 14 gallons out of one.

How's the C6 ? Any good reviews on it ?
Help me pick an 1/8 scale! - rocco79 - 07-01-2006
I know nothing about rb... I was always undr the impression they were more well suited for euro style tracks so i always wrote them off... I know tim booker swears by them ... ( Not sayin much though... LOL!!! Just F'in wit you bud!)
Whats there top of the line motor and what the p5 equivelent??? The one with the stuipd lil hand on it or the c6???And whats the s7?
Help me pick an 1/8 scale! - C.Crosley - 07-02-2006
rocco i have the RB 3 port econo motor runs great
Help me pick an 1/8 scale! - Tex - 07-02-2006
yep that 3 port RB cost $169.00 at leisure, great deal.
I had a WS7II and loved every minute of it. You can tune them with the clutch and pipe to get more low but if you want silly high end throw a high end pipe and listen to it sing.
