Magazine Review
I think you'll find the RC8.2e to be a great e-buggy both on and off the track. If you do get the bug to compete, a fresh set of racing tires will elevate it to the next level. Add a little tuning to the mix and you'll have yourself a great car that is capable of putting you in the winner's circle.--RC Driver, Dec. 2012
All the features, from the reliable 2.4GHz radio to the sturdy machined motor mount to the lightened diff outdrives shout out "race ready." However, the most important feature, its on-track performance, is where it really, without a doubt states, "I'm here to race!" --Radio Control Car Action, Jan. 2013
