buy the 410 and then the parts you don't use you sell for the amount he listed.

Correct, just pointing out the gains by doing the conversion option using a EB410 kit

Have you tested this with a 17.5?? Could the Exotek center spool be used and not the slipper?

I'm interested in this as well I usually use lockouts on my 2wd 17.5 buggies and I would use one here too if it'll drop in. I think it should?

I'm sure a center spool could be used, but every car, no matter what brand, that I have run a lock out on has handled better and turned faster laps with a slipper. The illusion of speed comes from the quicker spool up but in reality you can drive a slipper car harder because you can brake or throttle on landing of jumps with less chances of getting out of shape.

I'm intrigued by this. How does this Buggy Drive compared to a typical mid motored buggy like the b6d example? The buggy looks like it jumps well. Does it have any oversteer at all, or does it push into a corner?....or neither?

Like any buggy, it all comes down to set up, the lap times are the same as the AE, Kyosho and Yokomo as long the car is set up for the track layout, motor and surface conditions

I sold my AE 2wd Buggy once I found that I could produce the same lap times with the conversion kit, now I only have Tekno spare parts in my pit bad, I kept it just in case the conversion kit had limitations, lucky for me we got it right 👍

Very impressed,really liked that you did your testing on an outdoor dirt track. Shows it’s potential. Especially that you are running a gear diff in the rear I assume? Should be really good for carpet.

The one test sessions done on indoor carpet the Buggy was a weapon that’s for sure, tuning the car for dirt is a personal preference to what you like driving style wise, with 5 different drivers during testing we like things a little different in how it handled for each of our driving requirements

Interesting, but 1 issue. It should be a 2wd Stadium Truck or 2wd Shortcourse!
