ok, i am thinking about getting a half eight(have been from before it was released), and im wondering what i should do to the rtr, right when i pull it from the box. i have read around, and i looks like the slipper needs adjusting. what else? i will eventualy get the CAW towers and 3racing shocks. i am not afraid to tear the thing apart, and put it back together, so that is not a problem. i am also looking into puting on 1/10th wheels, rpm rims with peroli hpi rally tires. all i need for that is the trinity adapter, right? any more info for a new (soon to be) h8 owner? thanks for the info!

Grease up the differentials, they don't come with any on them.

buy some bearings for the hubs, grease the diffs liek cable man said....umm..thats about it...lol put a different motor..lol i recommend the x-speed if ur a beginner...get some URC 8 cell x42s..run everything stock until u can get a nice FM radio and then after that get the hitec hs-85mg servo

well....i wouldent call myself a beginner, but i have a little less experiance with elecetric than with nitro. so the h8 does NOT come with bearings? hmm....that will be one of my first upgrades then. i was thinking about a kyrstal motor, from urc, or mabye something more. i have a nice radio(xr2i), but the next radio i buy is the dsm from specktrum. thanks!

IMO, get the radio u want.....2 8cell x42s from URC, get a Speed 400 motor/rocket motor....oil shocks...and grease the diff and adjust the slipper..that should do you good...and when u want to change esc....get the this: http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXUY13&P=ML

then u can upgrade the servo..thats ur options if u want to run brushed.....for now..lol
