Hey,
Just wanted to give a big THANKS to Mike and the rest of the guys on RC Monster for all the help completing my buggy conversion. I brought it to an indoor off-road track just outside of Chicago on Tuesday night and it was fantastic. Speed was great (even with the wrong type of tire), jumping was insane and I can't tell you how many people wanted to see it and possibly try their own conversion (told them to check out RC-Monster for all the info). I had no experience with an 1/8th buggy in the past but there is a double jump at this track and the first jump is right after a sharp left hand turn. It's hard to get a lot of speed for the first jump but in the area of about 10 feet between jumps, I would accelerate, hit the second jump and it's crazy to see an 1/8th buggy six or seven feet high in the air and travel about 15 feet before hitting the ground. That was very cool!
Thanks again,
Matt
