I'm hoping to make my as inexpensive as possible. Ask me by PM if you want to know how it's being done :018:.

My personal experience is driving to the direction of 5S & 8XL on 13/46 gearing. 7XL on 5S on 13/50 gearing for my buggy is marginal.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.:o

In the Revo, I had to use the 7XL due to limited gearing options. It has a "slipperential" (my own version), where the transmission ratio is 2.44, voltage is 16.5v nominal, and the largest pinion Mike sells is a 20t. With it I can't go lower than a 40t spur because otherwise the motor will not fit properly.

If it's not the same buggy, he certainly used the same pictures and a very similar description.

Just figured I'd give you a heads up!

**Edit, it looks like he claims to have 2 for sale... Why he used the same pictures is beyond me**

Yeah, weird situation. It seems strange that pics for two different buggies can look so similiar :005:. I chose the one which he said had a fewer number of races on it. Afterwards, I determined it would have been better to get the other one because of spare parts and a clear body. Oh well.

LOL, you have connections eh? After seeing how nice the buggy was when I got it, I knew I wasn't going to put anything but the best in it. I could've saved a ton on cash and went with an ebay kit and then XL motor and MM, but I'm happy! :)

The only thing I might change is to put a MMM in it instead (if it ever comes out) simply because I'm still not quite satisfied with the Quark layout. We'll see I guess...
