i should have my motor mount from Mike tomorrow...i just got a fed ex tracking #.

Looking at the pictures... That looks a lot like a losi muggy. Meaning, the diffs, cd mount, and radio tray all look almost identical to the muggy. I wonder if you could put a Muggy/LST suspension on it?

[DwightSchrute]

ok, the brushless conversion is done! i really liked how it turned out. this thing is FAST!

I'm still not sure if i'm gonna keep it though. i might sell it to get a slash 4x4 so i can race my spec class.

here's the build in various states:




















PM me if you wanna buy it and we can duscuss a price. I can also include the nitro engine setup as well.

Basically, it's got an RCM Muggy motor mount, a losi 8ight battery tray and a NTC3 receiver box to copmplete the conversion. i was also thinking about getting some Savage wheel adapters to widen it a bit.

Enjoy!

I added some MT wheels and tires that really widens the front and rear.....i think i like these better than the stockers:

I know what you got some of your Losi rigs for.. and another trade like this... sigh... ther arent as many suckers around here.. LOL.. you are the luckiest dude I know in the hobby..

Nice conversion...

thanks....i decided to keep it after running it today. i was on the fence until i figured out that i could run this as a buggy or a wider truggy. it's alot of fun to drive.

as far as the 8ights...yeah...those are my babies. you really ought to see if you can pick one up on ebay. imo, they're phenominal.

i was launching one of mine off my skate ramp today at full throttle, just trying to see if i could break it...no dice. it's the best buggy i've ever beaten on.

i don't think i'd trade that for a 5B.

5b.. LOL.. IMHO, too loud, too slow, too messy... plus they make this noise i hate.. and they are loud.. and then, there is this obnoxious noise... and they are loud... plus, i hate the sound they make... did i mention they were loud?? I wouldnt trade my slash 2wd for a 5b and thats a fact.. i cant stand them... mostly cause they are so big, slow and sloppy.. plus, they make this noise...


you get my point.. i HATE those things... i am sure they'd be fun in the dunes here, but otherwise.. grass rides at the park.. or parking lot laps.. BORING.. plus, the noise is awful.. ;)


I just dropped 350 on AC for my car.. but next month, i'll be peeping for an RC8 or Losi... for sure.. maybe.. HAHA

[DwightSchrute]

I just bought a second roller for $70 shipped. This is a FUN truck!

I'll post pics of it when it arrives. i think i'm gonna drop a 6 or 5XL Feigao in it
