Need 1/8th electric advice please

[DanB4]

Hi Guys,

A track has sprung up in Muscat, where I', currenty living & working... I visited today with my 1/10th electric buggy but it was useless against the 4x4 SCT's and 1/8th brushless buggies on 4S compared to my puny little wheels and 2S power. I quickly shoved my 1/10th back in my boot and borrowed someone elses toy.

I had a go of someone's Associated RC8e and also an SC8e, both felt more than capable on the track surface which is relatively deep sand with bumpy rutted sections and some hard packed areas although these are minimal.

So my question is, I want the most capable vehicle for the track you see below - the 2 I tried suffered huge under-steer, maybe due to the setup, tyre choice of perhaps just the deep sand??

I am a complete newbie when it comes to 8th scale but i want an electric car to go and show them who's boss!

Please help

Dan
