Smithy111 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I bought a Losi 8ight T 2.0 race roller truggy off here a little while ago and the plan was to build it all up to a nice spec. The roller itself unfortunatley came pretty battered and ive had to spend a bit on parts which arrived today. I was looking for a brushless system for it and happend upon a Ansmann Deuce-e on ebay with a nice sensored xerun system and an ace ds1015 servo so snapped that up with the plan of transfering the electrics across to the 8ight T and then selling the Deuce-e on as an brushless ready roller for a few quid. The dilemma im having is now the Deuce has arrived its actully quite a nice bit of kit and not as crap as alot of people say and its in near new condition. The alloy bits are low grade ali and some plastic hing pin holders but shocks are big bore, shock towers are very thick and overall quite a decent layout. So what say you? Do up the losi or flog it?

cyronn Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 keep the losi 8T, much better than a Deuce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Deuce is pretty much a hyper 7. They make alright money as rollers, not a lot for parts as they are dirty cheap in pieces new! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithy111 Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 The Deuce is really heavy for a 1/8 buggy as well feels like it made of lead! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PabloEscobar Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Gotta be the 8ight T, no comparison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CurtisRider Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Look at hyper 7 parts against deuce and virus ones, annsmann basically copied the design which is why many parts are intercompatible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatboyneil Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 the deuce is the rtr version of the x8/team c t8 and is a near copy of the x-ray xb9 and is a bloody good buggy keep both the ansmann will shock you as to how good it is and as far as comparing it to an hyper 7 get real it craps all over the hyper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatboyneil Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 The Deuce is really heavy for a 1/8 buggy as well feels like it made of lead! yes it is heavy but swap some of the parts off an x8 and it becomes a really good entry level racer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatboyneil Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Look at hyper 7 parts against deuce and virus ones, annsmann basically copied the design which is why many parts are intercompatible have you even had a close look at a deuce its nothing like the virus or hyper its in a different class which is racer not basher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatboyneil Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Hyper 7 is better than a Deuce mate...... not starting anything but as a racer the deuce is ten times better than the hyper 7 bit like on par with the 8.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatboyneil Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Gotta be the 8ight T, no comparison you are right you cant compare a buggy with a truggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
