What We Like:
Updates to existing vehicles makes sense in alot of ways. The RC8B4.1 does give us quite a few new upgrades that should help keep the RC8 out front with the rest of the industry.
What We’re Not Sure About:
Well, it’s Nitro. We’re not big fans of Nitro but we get that there are still quite a few people that drive it.
