Time to start a log of my new K8s!
My goal with this amazing beast is to turn bike parks into a giant rc playground. I live in WA so while there are about 3 RC tracks within 100 miles of me there's a bike park every 100 feet. The k8s is a great platform to turn these bike parks into a giant 5th scale bash track.
Obviously we don't know much about what will be available for these and when but as I make changes I'll post them here. I will probably do an m2c chassis when it's available just for peace of mind. Other than that too early to tell.
First packs in today resulted in first "mod" - swapping out the stock rx for my r304sb so I can go back to my futaba 4pv. The dx2e active it comes with is approximately 20 million times better than the stx2 and there's nothing wrong with it besides the cheap feeling wheel. My problem is with the AVC, so since I'm not going to run the AVC I might as well use my favorite radio.
The AVC, even at like 10% gain, moves the wheels around too much in the air and can make you crash even on like a 3 ft high jump. It does work really well for smashing at speed on the ground, but the car is so dang stable inherently that for me there's no need for the avc it just feels like a handicap.
We will see what's next!
