Show us your 8th Car!
 
Just thought I would get some 8th pics going on here, I am sure there are quite a few of us on here with a 8th Rally X buggy lurking in the garage, here is my AE RC8:

I dont race it alot as Bike Racing and 10th is my main thing, but I have a go at Kent Rally Cross Club now and again. I fancy doing a bit more 8th for a change next year.

Its a std RC8, but I have done a few bits to it, Hong Nor Big Bores, Steering mod with Ghea Turn Buckles, RC8B radio tray so it moves the Rx batt up front, King Headz rear toe in block and composite chassis braces for a bit more flex.

As you can see its got no engine :( My old Bergonzoni engine gave up the ghost at the last meeting but Spud31 is going to give it a re build, I am on the look out for a new engine, the new Argus 21 from SMD or a RB SP10 then I'll have some much needed practice at Fairlop track one Wednesday.

This wont be my main class as they are too noisy, greasy to do every weekend and bump ups are gay! :p

Just browsed to the JQ website on it, screen-shot the logo, edited it in autodesk sketchbook app to make it black except the JQ then viewed it in the photo viewer and waved it about in the background.:thumbsup:

I think I ran them the year after too.....

This pic is from the same year, 2008 Neo race...

Hmm... Nitro....

Stu 28-12-2010 09:02 PM

You see how I covered the pink there boss?

Stu 28-12-2010 09:06 PM

Cab-forwards shells look gash.

andys 29-12-2010 01:16 PM

Hi Stu.
I think 'gash' is a bit harsh, quite like them myself. Here's one I sprayed up for the RC8B. Saying that I think the sleek Durango shell makes the DNX 408 look nicer than any other buggy. Look forward to seeing you at MMRC soon, also Which 8th are you racing ?
