OK guys Yusa Buggy #3 is on it's way.

The ultimate head to head testing:

1 - Nitro Buggy
1 - Direct NTB (Nitro to Brushless) Conversion that retains disk brakes
1 - Plate (RC-Monster style) NTB conversion that has the motor handle breaking.

So far here is the propulsion I have to test.
Brushless
Neumotor 1515/1Y
Neumotor 1512/2.5D
Hacker C50S Maxx
Hacker C50S 11L
Medusa Research 2200Kv 10th scale motor with heat sink
Novak HV4.5R System
Castle Mamba Max ESC
I am sure a Tekin will end up there somewhere.

Nitro - We'll see if they all fit
Nitro Star F4.1
Nitro .26 Hotbodies
Traxxas 3.3R

Should be a fun but very long test.

Under penalty of death and divorce my wife assured me that this would be the last and final Yusa buggy I purchased. :(

I can't speak for B15, but I've ordered spare parts for my Yusa 1/8 rally conversion from Larrys.I got my stuff in about a weeks time.

f$$450%^*(........ ARGGG Thanks for reminding me how far behind I am on projects.

See this I am burnt out at the moment.
http://www.stampedeproject.com/Ode-t...apy-Buggy.html

My life has been nuts lately. On top of a work promotion that has taken a ton of my after hours time, the holidays, family/company, articles that have taken priority or have taken way way to long, life and this idiot at our mall here in Omaha, I am pretty physically and emotionally burnt out at the moment.

I did get two of the Yusa's set up and running. The direct conversion and a gas versions are done. Waiting on servos for the last as well as fab'ing a servo mount plate. Mike offered to throw something together, but I know he is really busy with the holidays, so I really don't want to bug him.

I just picked up a Proxxon $350 mini-mill that even after just a couple little jobs, is blowing me away. It accepts all my existing Dremel bits so you can even do some cool stuff like precision sanding.... but that's a different story all together. "IF" I have some time it shouldn't take me more than an hour or so to whip out a motor mount plate.

I am really excited about this project if I can get some freaking shop time. Initial test showed that a relatively low powered ESC might be able to run the buggy just fine - such as the new Castle Sidewinder system with a low KV motor such as Medusa Products 2200Kv standard 540 sized motor. The big BUT is that the ESC cannot handle braking or reverse, it's just too stressful.

Realistically it will be well after the Christmas before I can dive back into it. We will see.
