as some of you know i have been kind of burnt out on nitro lately. i have been throwing the idea around of going brushless in my 1/8 buggy.

what do you guys think? opinions?

I'm a brushless fan, so I say go for it. Not cheap though to convert.

I have a question. Why go through all of that when 1/10th scale electric is very easy to do?

 

[nik77356]

because nobody really races 1/10 electric rite now, and 1/8 buggy is really fun when im not having problems

Be a trend setter! 3-4 guys change over to 1/10th scale, the rest follows! Especially if one of them is Kevin Lewis!

 

[Snellemin]

Electric is fun once you have all the quirks figured out. Because all you do, is mess around with the suspension and tire combo. If you need more torque, swap gears. Want to go faster swap gears, or add more voltage.

 

[nik77356]

your rite gary, but i really like 1/8 scale just not nitro at the moment. im thinkin of going to electric just for the reasons snellemin listed

Git Er Doneeeeee

 

[nik77356]

LOL Donnie. did you ever consider this as an option???

 

[sixshootertexan]

People are converting Revo's all the time. Why not a buggy?

 

[nik77356]

somebody had a buggy AND a truggy out at k&m a long time ago. i remember i was amazed!!!

 

[KevinLRC]

LOL, sorry dude, getting me to run electric again will be like getting you out to Mike's in the summer. I didn't have anywhere near as much fun that one time I ran electric out there as I had on my worst day running 1/8. Now if there was a track like Redstick or the old Performance I'd be all for some mod buggy action.

The AE 1/18 cars look pretty cool though, but if I get one it'll be for my son to bash around with and eventually maybe start him out in that.

there was a conversion someone did om a Jammin Truggy that had a brushless system in it. I will try to find it for you....I have a Mayhem buggy rotting at the house rite now that can us a wake-up call......

 

[nik77356]

that would be cool paul

 

[Big Phil]

Dang! Guess electric 10th scale is out for me then. I was hoping to bring back electric in Houston.

 

[nik77356]

i think most people are scared to run 1/10 electric because you actually have to know how to drive!!!! i know im scared. i know if someone would let me use their 1/10 electric i would definitely use it. it teaches you how to be a better driver. if you can drive a 2wd 1/10 scale good you can drive almost anything better

 

[Donnie Hayden]

I ran 2wd gas for awhile and it was ok. I ran a T4 and a B4 last summer and got bored real quick. 1/18 scale is just a lot more fun to me and a ton cheaper.
