antnee Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Surprised there isn't one already. (well had a look and didn't see one ) So who's running an 1/8th electric buggy/truggy? I might be getting one off a mate, some Chinese thing, but looks really good quality. Comes RTR with brushless and lipo. So who has one of these glorious cars (the future I believe!)

JamesChatz Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Got a link to the one you're getting? I know Nick has an rc8Te, Happylad and Matt B are running the revos and there are various other build threads dotted around the forum. Like you said, I can see these taking off big time soon, especially with the lowering price of brushless and lipo. More manufacturers are starting to take notice too, with proper 1/8 scale buggies like the hot bodies one, rather than nitro conversions.

Benjamin Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I have a losi Truggy for sale, the conversion has been done and just needs electrics to go init Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antnee Posted August 24, 2009 Author Share Posted August 24, 2009 Im not sure of the make of the one I may be getting, it's just some cheap Chinese thing, which he imported Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiggles Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 MY plan is when i have the money to convert my mta4 to brushelss, i have seen it done before and it was stupidly over powered and couldn't keep the front down, i'm aiming for something that actually works!.

Leo Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I was hoping to order a 8ight-E 2.0 next week but my brother broke a driveshaft on my E-Revo. If I've got enough money for the 8ight and the steel shafts I'll be really happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoopMaxx Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 This is my brushless Hyper 7 It will be stretched to a 375mm WB with a SC8 body and solid rear axle test run First video I have no idea why the first 30 sec are black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt B Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 (edited) I'd say that Hyper needs a bit of a bigger motor to push it along if you want to keep it cool. Looks like it has an ok amount of power though! I'll probably be selling my E-Revo when I come back from Scotland depending how I feel, as I'd really like to get a real car to be honest.

timmo666 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Well here's mine, I converted a nitro Xray 808. I'm running a Mamba Max Monster system with their 2650kv motor, which is good for 40,000 rpm with the 4s lipos I'm using. I've had to turn all the power/punch settings to almost minimum to because it would wheelie at any speed! It's so much fun to race, power and speed is awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiM! Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Anyone know anything about this? http://www.modelsport.co.uk/?CallFunction=ShowSpecification&ItemID=34080 Looks real nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antnee Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 Nice one Looks like you have 2 ESC's there Yeah, the standard ESC isn't that great, so I whacked my Mamba in for the day, will sort it all out soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
