I've been into RC from 23 years. I'm a member of one18th (moderator), driftrcentral, yourmicro(My car is on the front page... the RX-7), rcgroups, minizracer, and tinyRC. I own more than 45 Radio-controlled vehicles including planes, motorcycles, and Helis. More than half are 1/18 scale and larger. I just got a Half 8 at the RCX show in Anaheim last weekend for $150 (I couldn't resist) I have 3Racing shocks on their way as well as a clear body, X-Speed, and bearings coming as well. I have a Kyosho Motorcycle with a Mamba 6800 in it and a M18 with the Mamba Comp X (8000)... (that was just for experimenting) I might get the Aon 4900 to put in my H8 and use the Mamba controller from my M18... just not looking forward to replacing all of the other electronics as I have had to do in any of my previous RTRs... but if the H8 proves to be too slow with the 8-cell and the X-speed then I might have to bite the bullet... I have extra receivers (XXL) but I would just have to get a servo and take the time to do the install (which I don't really have :D)... I DID put ceramic grease in all the diffs prior to the first run with the stock motor and 8-cell, but ball diffs would be the ultimate setup (quiet and adjustable)... I spoke to a buddy of mine that works at Kyosho and no plans for a ball diff are on the table... but as with the mini-z I can't see them going without for too much longer... if not, I'm sure the aftermarket is hard at work on it.
