Hey guys, I got out of Nitro last year and have been racing electric. But I sure do miss my 1\8 scale buggy. I had a project in mind which I am sure somebody out there has done as I can remember seeing a picture somewhere. But I was thinking of converting a buggy (maybe a Hyper 7) to electric.
Not sure if one motor would be enough so I had thought of using an E-Maxx dual motor setup.
Pease post some pics if you have them of what you have seen or done or give me some tips.
I plan to either so this or get a XXX-4 but it just wouldn't be the same.

Interesting, I just found this auction on Ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWA%3AIT&rd=1
Might be worth checking out.

just bolt an 7 or 8 turn in your xxx4 and it will be fast!

Single motors like the hacker c50, feigao 540L series, Plettenberg Big Maxxum, Lehner 1930 and 1940 series are plenty of motor using only 1 motor.

there are several pages of info and pics here

Wouldn't it make sense to build an electric buggy that had a quick-change battery pack to run the 20-minute mains. Don't the gas guys have to pit for more fuel?

I think a company needs to start this craze. I don't care for electric but I'm all for something new.
