Just ordered myself one and can't wait to try it out! I to watched all the major rc channels break it but to me even the parts they broke are the parts you would want to break first. Glad i came across your channel, now i know ill need to go through the diffs before taking it out.
Dude you'll love it. Not sure if you watched my unboxing video of the MT8. But you should check it out. You'll see how I set the truck up. Installed the service pack too in that video.
I also got the MT8 when it went on sale for 360 I thought it was a hell of a deal for 6s rig and to me it seems every truck has its flaws somewhere but also got the upgraded kit with it and not used it yet I had made videos of it still not broken it except the wheelie bar bolt can't complain great truck
Had some massive crashes on my mt10 being a novice and have only lost a front sway bar n that’s it. Good to see the mt8 is decent as the price is amazing
Hi there my Mt10 is my go to truck right now the weather is bad and with the RPM arm front and rear. The shock oil is slightly thinner also brilliant!! The Mt8 is for sale at £300 UK 🇬🇧 in your opinion is this worth it. Would it need the same upgrades in you opinion or would the arms also need replacing. It's looking good I'm not a skateboard park bashing person much.😊😊😊 I value your opinion. Keep up the good work. I'm watching and waiting to see if you break it. Or it's one for the Mt8 😢😅
100% worth it. You need to install the service pack. And I would say do the diffs like I did in the unboxing video I did. But this truck was a true shocker for me.
will you upgrade to the rom arms? i love my mt8 as well got it for under 300 cant beat tue value. I see it more of a handling machine. The arrma 4s i dont mind jumping
It seems like you have had good luck with your MT8. I have a slight cause of concern in buying one though as the both colors of the MT8 have been out of stock the last four months approximately on the Team Associated page. In my experience when this happens on a company's page it usually means a product is about to be discontinued, it's possible I'm wrong or maybe they're going to be releasing a new SKU/updated version. Once TA discontinued the Rival monster truck though you couldn't get parts anymore, so I hope that doesn't happen with the MT8 for the sake of everyone that did buy one.
I could see that. Hopefully TA is going to re-release this truck with the service pack already installed. It's such a great truck, and was overlooked by most people. However, if you can get it on sale it's worth it.
@JasonPerrinRCVlogs I've got two MT8's myself. They are straight up reliable and a total blast to drive. Think it was a victim of lazy reviewers literally repeating what they had seen elsewhere...adnauseum. Didn't get a fair shake in the least. Good news, they can be had quite cheap, bad news is some parts will become more and more difficult to source over time...thusly, I had to grab a second parts car on the cheap. Though that "parts car" hasn't been touched for over two months, cause my OG hasn't needed one single part from it! Thanks for doing what you do. Your one of the very few I trust without question. Have a happy new year, bud!
The truck is definitely worth it. Don't let other youtubers ruin this truck for you. Size wise this truck is close to a Traxxas Maxx. But this clobbers the maxx in every way. And then if you compare to something like the new Kraton EXB V2. The Mt8 took more abuse than my Kraton did. Again man, don't let the influencers ruin it for you.

I've decided to go for it. Will keep you updated on how I get on. Thanks. Mark 😊

Those tires look so huge on that truck. I dig it.
Yeah, they are definitely big for this truck. For my liking, they are too big for the MT8. However, they did improve almost everything on this truck.
@JasonPerrinRCVlogs with those tires, and that short wheelbase, rotation in the air has to be about as easy as it gets.
Nice truck, with the upgrade pack it's a monster!

SICK AIR!!!

How many degrees of bending of the springboard??

Who sells that ramp?
Just ordered one of these and haven't stopped watching videos and see alot of people moaning. Not sure if im going to regret it.
Geoforms are hard to find anymore. I am seeing terraforms a lot.

I wouldn't go near one of them , even with a stack of stashed cash 🤣🤣🤣
That's too bad. You are really missing out on a great truck.

Having a good size jump myself when I say one more jump I fell like it’s gonna be its last jump until I fix it lol
stock hubs and arms are sheet* get the redcat hubs and arms or RPM arms.
Like I mentioned, I already have all the parts waiting. But I haven't needed them. The service pack parts were an upgrade.
That MT8 sucks , I had one and it broke in 5mins lol
It’s now overpriced, not worth it.
