Default Electric Conversion or Dedicated Racer?

I was just curious, is there a performance difference between a 1/8 electric conversion and a dedicated (example, RC8Be) 1/8 electric buggy?

The RC8BE is still basically a conversion. It uses the nitro chassis with the components for electric attached.

most e buggies are converts but they perform well, only a few are not coverts like nexx8, hyper 9e & Ve8.

difference is the feel esp when jumps like nexx 8 is saddle so most saddle has the motor in front & that makes the nose heavy. whereas the 1 side batt ep cars are more neutral when jumps.

saddles are also more weight balanced whereas the 1 side batt will be heavy one side if u use heavier batts like 6s 5000.

end of the day is how u adapt to the car & how you drive it

its the driver not the car
