I'm pretty sure the CustomWorks bodies are big enough for an 1/8th scale, check the out.

1/8 Scale Nitro Dirt Oval sounds great.

most use the Ofna GTP car.

here are some pics

Here in cherryville N.C. we mostly use the Ofna GTP with the single speed diff. a couple just use a buggy, and lock up the center diff. Both work well. As far as 1/8th scale bodies...I have the molded lexan. they look like a larger version of the Custom Works Eldora...Pretty sweet.. They are 55.00 dollars plus shipping BEAMER2

hi beamer2 where are ya buying your tires and wheels at like what store name
online i'm really new to the oval seen i v been racing off road for 3 years
i dont know much about the oval stuff so if you could give me some place to
buy the 1/8 scale oval stuff thanks

and where could i get a tranny that would work in a 1/8 scale buggy because
the one i have it has the center diff in it ? again thanks a bunch

beamer2 · 12-25-2006, 03:14 AM

I got my Ofna wheels and tires from LHS, but have seen them on towerhobbies.com. As far as your diffs, try 100,000 (yes 100,000) in front , 7,000 in rear, and playdough in the center, Playdough will lock up the center, but it's not permenent down the road. Since your using a buggy, you might want to restrict some the shock travel. that's next topic, right now it's X Mas morn and I gotta go Later BEAMER
