Still the Best Buggy at the Best Price, Team Magic’s M8 keeps getting better .

Overview

Inspired by Team Magic’s passion for excellence in engineering and fueled by your need for speed and tank- tough performance, the M8JS is true race winning machine sporting all the design elements of the M8… and in an even more affordable package.

Test driven and race proven, the M8JS is unique among a sea of 1/8 scale buggy clones on the market.

From the ground up, every detail of the M8JS was evaluated and then re-evaluated to produce a buggy that works and keeps on working when others cave in. As a racer and an RC enthusiast you know what it means to have a vehicle and RC accessories you can count on in the heat of racing or the joy of bashing… so do we. That’s our commitment in every product we make. The M8JS is no exception!

Design Concept

We took the conventional 1/8 scale off-road buggy design and focused on what you, the racer, want in a buggy.

Your experience and feedback in driving these dirt churning machines is what influences our thinking and re-thinking. The resulting design reflects your desire for speed, durability, performance and ease of maintenance.

Our revolutionary “Flying Wing” design on suspension arms has proven to be a truly remarkable feature that adds strength, durability and aerodynamics to this most essential buggy component. That’s just one example of the leading edge engineering you get with the M8JS.

Going a step further, we made it affordable without compromising quality. The Team Magic M8 and M8JS have evolved from that process to give you the best of the best in performance and value.

Unique Features

What sets the M8JS 1/8 scale buggy apart from the rest? Check out these unique features:

Super Easy Maintenance

There’s nothing worse than having to take half the car apart to change one item. The M8JS is almost effortless to maintain. You can get to the transmissions easily with the removal of only a few screws. The layout is simple but effective which actually makes it easy to make adjustments and quick fixes on any part of the M8JS right there in the pits. We know you’d rather be racing than wrenching.

Precision Factory Built

You finally get your box home and can’t wait to get your buggy on the track. Who wants to spend hours searching for Bag A and fumbling through parts trees all night? Relax, we’ve done the hard work for you.

Each M8JS is 90% factory precision built.

Upgradeable

The M8JS comes standard with everything you need to outrun, outjump and outrace the competition. But we know you want to do it with a little more style, a little more flash of maybe a little more aluminum. One word… upgrades! The M8JS is upgrade compatible with most parts already available on the M8 like:

Alum. 7075 Steering Block (CNC machined)
Alum. 7075 Shock Tower (CNC machined)
Vented Brake Discs and Premium Brake Pads
Special Alum. Clutch Shoe
ST Steel Hinge Pin

Power

The drive train of the M8JS is built for dirt pounding power. Surrounded by super tough chassis components, the M8JS has both guts and glory.

Transmission

Having a powerful engine is one thing but having a transmission to convert that power into awesome speed and a checkered flag is priceless. Three steel laden bevel gear transmissions get the ponies up and running for the M8JS.

Precision built and built to last, these track ripping power boxes will maximize the potential of any engine strapped to the M8JS giving you a smooth transfer of power to each wheel. The beefy steel outdrives connected by universal joints can take whatever punishment you can dish out and not skip a beat. That’s Team Magic engineering at its best.

Aluminum 7075 Center Driver Shaft

Transferring power from the engine to the transmission effectively is always top priority. The M8JS uses Aluminum 7075 center driver shaft to get the job done. Presize machining eliminates slop and play, getting every ounce of thrust from your power plant.

Handling

The real test of a true racing machine is how it handles on the track. All the hop-ups in the world won’t help you if your buggy can’t handle jumps or spins out in a turn. That’s why we paid special attention to drivability and built-in to the M8 and M8JS the best handling characteristics you can find on any 1/8 scale buggy at any price.

Superior Balance

You might think it doesn’t matter where you place the battery box or where the engine sits. But we know that a vehicle with unbalanced weight distribution, is like trying to drive a brick on 3 wheels.

Centralized components are the backbone of the M8JS. A fully loaded fully fueled buggy has an entirely different balance than an empty chassis. Placing the engine in the right position in relation to the servos, battery packs, fuel tank and differentials is an exact science.

Our engineers and test drivers tweaked and adjusted the component positions until the center of gravity on the M8JS was right on target. You will notice how level it is in mid flight just off of a jump or how the wheels stay planted in a hard turn. Even on a power slide, the M8JS won’t get out of shape giving you that first out of a turn advantage.

Lay-down servos and a low-profile fuel tank keep that all important center of gravity as low as possible, helping you corner like it’s on a rail. Even the aerodynamic low-profile slim body, adjustable rear wing and “Flying Wing” suspension are designed to keep you planted and in charge.

Fully Tunable

The M8JS can be “dialed” to any track condition you encounter. Check out these tuning features:

Multiple Shock Angle Positions
Caster and Camber Adjustments
Toe Angle Adjustments
Tunable Anti-roll Bar
Adjustable Wheelbase
Anti-squat Control
Adjustable Ackermann Settings
Front and Rear Droop Settings
Front and Rear Ride Height

Setting up the M8JS is as individual as your driving style or track conditions. Detailed setup sheets are included for you convenience or you can download different setups as they become available.

Shock System

Aluminum shocks on the M8JS come fully assembled and ready to fill and tune. K-Factory shock oil is included at our recommended weight. Different spring weights are also available to handle any track setup. Shock boots are also included to keep dirt and debris out of your damper system.

Extra long Big Bore shocks give you extra long suspension travel for those single, double or triple jumps.

Some companies offer many of these features as an option. At Team Magic, quality is not an option, it’s a priority.

Differentials

One of the most time consuming tasks for most 1/8 scale buggies is getting to and maintaining the differentials. The M8JS features Quick Release Front/Middle/Rear gearboxes making adjustment and maintenance a snap. The quality steel used in our bevel gears stands up to anything a hard driven race can bring so maintenance is minimal, while performance is maximized.

K Factory differential oil is included in the kit with the recommended weight. A large assortment of K Factory diff oils are available for fine tuning as well.

Structure

Built with the same engineering excellence as the M8, the M8JS is designed to be the most impact resistant racing machine to date at a price that simply blows away the competition. True to the principal of “the whole being greater than the sum of its parts”, the combination of materials, physics and smart engineering has made the M8JS one to be reckoned with.

Chassis

7075 Aluminum is strong, lightweight, resists corrosion, stiff and resilient. It can be precision milled into just about any shape or form providing the framework for the toughest of RC vehicles. This “super” material is the foundation of the M8JS chassis.

The built-in battery case has been widened to fit a variety of battery packs on the market. Precision aluminum motor mounts, tough dual chassis guards and 4mm 7075 aluminum front/rear chassis stiffeners all come together to form a tank-tough chassis that’s ready to roll.

Bolted to this 3mm thick chassis are high impact resistant composite suspension parts built to take a beating and still hit the ground running.

Suspension

The Flying Wing suspension arms shed dirt and debris and are hefty enough to take a hit and shake it off.

This innovative design reduces drag and increases durability keeping you racing with that “solid’ feel. Heavy-duty tie-rods and thick adjustable turnbuckles keep your suspension parts intact even on the toughest terrain.

Steering blocks and uprights are made from beefy composite plastic that provide optimal strength, yet with enough flexibility to resist breaking. Solid steel hinge pins keep your suspension travel smooth and bind-free allowing the entire suspension system to operate freely.

Strength

The M8JS is one tough cookie. Our techs and test drivers spared no effort to try and find any weak spots that would send you to the pits. After rigorous track testing, hard racing and bashing, every component that needed improvement was redesigned and re-tested to make the M8JS one of the strongest and most impact resistant 1/8 scale buggy out there.

But don’t take our word for it… take the M8JS for a ride in your world, you won’t be disappointed!

That’s the power of Team Magic!
