I’ve had twoRX8 models and loved their control, speed and safety. My only issue is that they don’t hold the road as well when it’s raining. I totaled my last one on an incline and the highway was slick with rain. I spun out and hit a tree. I walked away with no injuries. Liked that part! Apr 14, 2024

The car was a great chassis and very nice interior, however the specific one I test drive felt like it had low compression and almost no power. It felt like it struggled to launch when I test drove it. The chassis itself felt very solid.Aug 22, 2021
