Oh... and from what I've heard that pipe is worth the extra money over the Jammin.

Not saying anything is wrong with the pipe, I just don't have the money and am looking for a used JP-2.

It's up to you. It's nice to have. But so many people have spektrum that you shouldn't have any problems having an open frequency.

Not required...it just makes for less chance of frequency related hassles. I WOULD stay away from AM "stock" type radios and at least get an FM radio, synthesized frequency, if possible.

It depends what module you have for the M8, regular FM, synthesized FM, or spektrum system.

M8's dont come syth. You can get a Novak or Airtronics syth module for one.

FYI. M8's are discontinued. M11's are the replacment.

Hey i know its up to me but heres my thoughts, pay about $750 for the kit another 3-$400 for a decent engine and and the radio , well that easily puts this machine well over $1,000 and I dont want to fear having my buggy take off with some little radio glitch or a someone turning there radio on accident in the pits....

I agree with mike, the m8 is more than suitable.

My m11 is great and I love it (a bit heavy), but the m8 is also a great radio..
