If I'm not mistaken, Himoto is OFNA(USA brand), so quality is very good. It looks to be an x1x or x2 cr.

You're probably thinking of Hobao or Hong Nor. But yes, this does look like a Jammin' buggy (X1CR with the big bore shocks?).

So they're using a big motor with ~2100mah cells (could be 2p for ~4200mah), and a weird gear reduction unit. It's different than most, no doubt. But then again, so am I:

Those were two different buggies I converted with that same chassis configuration, and both used 8 Maxamps 2100mah 15C cells in 4s2p (14.8v 4200mah).

Notice there's not much room for an ESC, especially a MMM...

No, your thinking of Hobao or Hong Nor. Can't remember which one it is in Australia. If OFNA/Jammin/Hobao/Hong Nor and what ever else they are called just had one name, I would probably be more interested in their kits. People whine about Losi using imperial screws which I don't really see that big of a problem with but a company with 4 + names seems more of a pain in the arse


Losi 8ight
MMM V1 w/1.20
Airtronics MX3 2.4Ghz
TP 5S 5000mah
Neu 2.5D/F
