I might have a buggy put together soon as a turn-key for sale, just to try it and get a new 1/8 out there. I'm going to talk to Mike about getting parts for it.

I think I can do it for a very good price... much better and much cheaper than FD for example. :)

Basic parts needed:
Mamba w/bec............@150
RCM hardened pinon....@10
Feigao XL w/heatsink...@25
RCM motor mount........@55
??? battery mount.......@40
total parts.................$280
plus battery 5000mah 4s @200

That's $480 so far, plus you need a buggy to put them in.

That's makes a grand total of $900-1000 depending on which buggy you buy.

Do you think many would buy a completely ready to run turn key buggy, if the cost was basicly a sum of the total parts?

How about $950 for a turn-key Caster Factory Pro buggy like this: http://casterracing.com/en/product_d...&productid=109
(full 7075 "king heads" type stuff... It's a Mugen knock-off that's actually faster than a Mugen on the track.)

How about an even $1000 complete with a very nice servo .10/150 oz or better..... just drop in a receiver and turn it on?
