1/8 scale buggy project
 

Here is the start of my project. Still lots to do.

Another.

Steve looks great so far. Is that a mugen mbx 4 or 5 ?. Have you seen mine ?. The thread is titled hippies bl mbx4.

Steve what motor is that ?.

That's a nice 4 you've got there! Looks really clean.

That is a 4. The motor is an old Aveox 1412/1.5 turn. The motor still maybe changed. Yes I have seen the hippie and I hope mine comes out as nice as yours.

nice setup. Im not suprise if urs does. How u gunna setup ur batts? Hippi style?

Speaking of batteries how many cells are you running?

Not bad! Would you care to share some close-ups of your motor mount? :)

One.

Two.

Steve were did you get the motor mount, & what center diff is that ?.

PS

If i can help in any way just ask.

Are you going to run lipo's or regular batts ?.

Looks great!

You really need a hardened pinion on that motor, the normal MOD1 gears will be shredded within 2 runs.

Where are you going to drop your batteries?

here is the conversion of a HB lightning Pro i did.

Hippie, I designed it and my friend cut it with a wire for me. The diff I am not sure, but it has MBX carved into it.

Serum, where do I get the right pinion? I am either going to run a 4s4p 2500 tanic pack or a 6s4p 2000 TP pack and change out the motor.

Thanks for the compliments!

Steve

I changed the spur tp a plastic one. Mike has got all the pinions i use.

I haven't had much luck finding a hardened pinion either, you should try to make an adaptor plate to mount oine of the ofna 51t plastic spurs, like hippie did.
