Hi there
I am finally converting a 1/8 nitro buggy to electric with the following goals:
- Lighter than nitro original
- At least 15 min runtime going the same speed as nitros on (European style) race track
Are there examples of such buggies? All electric 1/8 buggies I've seen are heavier than the nitro version (maybe except the conversions of Mr. Constructor, which don't use a nitro chassis).
Attached are pictures of my self-designed aluminium motor mount and self-made carbon prepreg battery holder.
Regards
Thomas
