Experience talking here- most decent 1/8 buggy/truggy platforms can easily handle 6s.

And if you want a MT to run 6s wide open, lst or the big cen trucks do just fine.

Tire/wheel choice have more to do with drivetrain wear than overall power...

And just a little tip. Some lucas/stp oil stabilizer in your flux steel geared tranny will make it last alot longer. A teaspoon or so will do, just enough to cover the teeth of the bottom gear so when it spins it picks the oil up.

I have made old emaxx trannies survive under bl power. Knowing what you are doing goes a long way in this hobby, along with being relatively open minded! And rest can be found here at rcm, or from the monster himself!!!

And have an oily mess being flung around my diff case? Screw that, my center gears are doing just fine

So you dont have any oil at all in your diffs/tranny? Not even silicone oil? That's bad news...

I'm talking about the center 50/50 power split tranny on the Flux, not the front and rear diffs.

I might have to try this. Maybe use some RTV sealant on the tranny halves so it doesnt leak. I play with those Lucas oil dispays every time i go to the parts house, it seems to work pretty well.
