Which car?
I'm looking to get an electric rallycross to run at my regionals this year but what is the best car?
IMHO none of the major players have fully embraced 8th electric and are nearly converting their nitro buggys to electric. The best layouts are seen in the budget cars, Team BSD, Next, Thunder Tiger G8 but are any of the budget cars able to compete against the big guns? Anyone know what's winning?

I converted my Hyper 8.5 with an Ansmann conversion, 4S battery and a Tekin 8th brushless system, if I can get a pinion to survive, gonna give it a bash up Talywain. Cars handle totally differently to the nitro engined brother.
Also, charging... if your charger is rated at 50W, you will be there a while!

I can sort you out with an MBX6 which you could convert, in exchange for your S4!

I've been playing with Pauls Thunder Tiger S3 with a RC8e conversion and it goes really well but it weighs several tonnes so wondering if there is a better option
@Barry, I'll keep my S4 thanks ;-)

The reps bringing in the rtr thunder tiger 1/8 leccy tomorrow. It has the plastic chassis which is miles lighter but never going to be as tough as the ali chassis.
RC8 E doesn't have much of a weight difference to the S3. Power and run time are probably the key points in this category and of course they gotta be tough. Wrca rounds for 1/8 leccy are apparently going to be 12mins should manage that even with the ali chassis S3
