Hey,

I got to drive an electric RC8 for an afternoon. Can't report too much from the short test. But it appeared to work. Was able to drive it similar to a 1/10, no need to feather in landing off jumps.

Felt safe having that little give in the drive train.

For comparison, I've driven an electric 1/8 buggy & truggy that had a normal centre diff. Both had to be driven very carefully to save the drive train. The truggy drive train didn't last the day, went from 4wd to 2wd to no wheel drive!!
