Wish i lived closer to you guys would of loved to see all the bikes out together
If you get the chance take a few pics mate or even better a nice vid im going to rope a mate in to take some action (crashing) pics
Had around another 6 packs through the bike and its running great im well happy really pleased i bought it ,I recomend them to anyone one looking for a good specc'ed brushless bike for under
Im running a 2s 4000mah lipo and theres plenty of room left to go bigger.
Any lipo thats around the size or slightly bigger than a 7.2v nimh stick pack will fit
I get around 30 mins with a 4000mah lipo with stock esc and motor
here's mine
M5 bike upgrades so far : front oil shocks,steering damper,revo rear shock,wheelie bar and 2s lipo battery
Sr4 upgrades : Steering damper and and revo shock
These are decent for the money http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HobbyWing-1-8-RC-Buggy-Truggy-4274-2200kv-Sensored-BL-Motor-150A-ESC-COMBO-/181107970837?pt=UK_ToysGames_RadioControlled_JN&var=&hash=item2a2ae05315
But it really depends on how much you have or want to spend
Hyper ss is much better quality and a much stronger basher than the trophy which is an old rebaged hot bodies lightning
Your Ftx esc and motor are no good for a 1/8 buggy
A friend of mine runs hyper big bores shocks on his ftx and its made a massive difference

Gor for it you only live once :-)
With customs charges the cost wouldn't be far away from the uk prices and the fact that if there is a problem with it retuning it will be pricey.
There's a new mm450 on eBay
