At last, we finally be able to see the illusive Team AE RC8 buggy pictures. To be honest, Im surprise. Its just that normal look of any buggy out there. I expected something … hmm, how do i say it, different, unique, radical and surpise. But dont take my word. You have to see closely and touch it. Im sure there are something unique just from AE engineer. I hope so.

Here, early in the morning i got email, a newsletter from buggy-sports.info. The pictures are out, and for all to see. enjoy them.

Team AE RC8 buggy!

Here some review from their Pro drivers.. courtesy of Neobuggy.net:

“In testing, it felt unbelievable. It does everything better than my National Champ S3. The RC8 is the best handling 8th scale buggy I’ve driven so far.”
–2006 ROAR National Champion Ryan Maifield

“You can push it hard and it stays balanced. The harder I drive it, the faster I can go.” –The KING Richard Saxton
