Hot bodies has some good stuff.  The D8 buggy is a good one for racing so I imagine the T will be pretty good.  It looks good at any rate.

However, it is pricey.  A Main Hobbies sells the kit for $440.  (shipped on March 16, but you can pre-order it).  A good engine for the kit will be at least $160, so that is already $600.  And then you need all your electronics and a pipe.  Or you can get a RTR 8ight-T with a Spektrum DX2.0 radio for $499 from A Main Hobbies.  I'm sure the D8T is great and I love kits as much as the next guy, but that 8ight-T RTR combo is just an unbeatable deal.

Fair point. But I would like one of these more than a 8ight because the 8ight is abit common at my track

Hopefully the price will go down, but I dout it will due to the credit crunch ect.

Anyway i'm surprized about the price because of the dispriction of it:
"...super stable and easy to drive truck that will get you to the winners circle without breaking your piggy bank."

Where can I get a 8ight-T for $500?

This thread is pretty old...before the 2.0 came out.  The 1.0 is pretty much completely phased out.  I don't think you can find a shop that still sells them.  If you want one you'll have to buy it used.

I thought you were talking about the 2.0 for $500. Anyway I am getting the 8ight-T 2.0 RTR for $719.
