    Broke the axle - Gen8

    I've had good luck so far and haven't broken anything before today. But today I was out bouncing around in my backyard and broke a portal right off. The plastic gave up. Luckily I had bought the upgrade HD ones at some point but never installed them. Now I guess I get to install them. The Gen8...

    https://youtu.be/9SqSxfOkvEA Only showing half of the 12-gate course I created at the base of the mountain...I broke an outer portal just when I got to the top and was about to begin the tricky rocky loop-around before heading back down for the descent.

    Gen 8 vs Everest 10 (Gift for 6 year old)

    TLDR: Should I buy the Gen8 as a our first RC Crawler or start off with the Everest 10? A 6 year old will be using this unsupervised and I want something that will last. This comparison may not make much sense but I'm a completely newbie when it comes to RC cars and I'd appreciate some...

    Important info for Gen8 owners

    Thanks to Triple X RC Garage on YouTube I found out the portal gears on the gen8 are bone dry. They without a doubt need to be greased. If you go on his channel on YouTube he shows you how to do it, being rather easy you simply take your wheel off, take out the 6 screws around the portal and add...

    Terribly sorry if this has been covered already but I can’t find any answers anywhere and I can’t understand the way the rules are written but does anyone here know which class the gen8 falls under if any at all as far as sorcca rules go?
