Default GA E-Truggy

I'm thinking about getting an e-truggy after watching them at PNB and at a few club races.

Seems like there are a few others like me that want to run them, but waiting for the class to build.

I figure if we could get a tally of who would run them if there was a consistent class, we could form a sort of pact and kick this class in to high gear quickly!

Nothing binding, just measuring the general interest.

I think it will take off at some point this season. We already have preorders for the mbx7te.

Well I just pulled the trigger on a ET48 (Tekno) probably should have everything but the motor ready by the first round of the SOS, but could make that happen if there are enough entries. I'm working with Tekin support to see what kind of trade up deal I can get for a buggy motor.

I have a e truggy I have been running it for quite a while. I would be in to finally get to run with other e Truggies and not the nitros. They are a blast.

How are you handling the mains with the nitros? Swapping packs during the race or can you make a full 20mins?

are all of you guys who have posted planning on running the first round of SOS? I'm counting 5 so far. Was thinking if we could get at lest 7 then pre-arrange volunteer marshals to fill in the rest maybe we could get by the first round and hopefully have a bigger class for the second round, especially if the mbx7te comes out by then.

8000 mAh Lipo should get through a 20 Main with a little bit left over.

I was having to make a battery swap in the main. I had a couple of tricks and made for very fast swaps. I was pretty competitive even having to do the swap. It helped having a fast pitman too. :-D

I have two 7200 2s batteries I use in the 4x4 SCT, with some creativity I could probably turn them into a 4s 14,400 pack

with 2 7200mah 2S, you can either get a 7200mah 4S (serie wiring) or a 14400mah 2S (parallel wiring).
