My Posts This: Topic Forum | I bought one direct from Quick in Utsunomiya Japan, the shop is only about 40min. from where I live. Mr. Watanabe is a great ol guy.
I was considering buying a REX SE but I when I found out about the EP8 I decided to look into it further. I bought mine for 19000yen which is about $178~ compare that to the SE which is retailing for about $500, granted it comes with the motor and esc, the EP8 is in a class all by itself, Its big, and no compromises in quality have been made with this machine. Its also made in Japan which is a plus, since they make the best radio controlled everything. In my book its the King of Bling. |
It comes pre-blinged. The only thing it needs is better paddles and maybe some thrust bearings in the head although if the main shaft is the weak point as flytech says then thrust bearings still arent gonna help us get high head speeds without damage. Speaking of which....
6 cells is pushing it and it may fail. I will be over the manufacturer stated limits for RPM's on the motor with 6 cells unless i decrease the curve a bit but im gonna try it anyway. This may very well be when my first crash happens but i have the motor and cant use it for anything else so i may as well try it.
