Ok guys I know some one here can help me here. I want to try racing in the truggy class. I know KO make's one and I know ASSO. makes the 8ight T. what I want o know is I am going to look online here to get one used. I will not even attempt to try nitro as I do not have years to learn the in's and out's of that I need to know what is a good deal on a roller and what will I need to know to make it a brushless version. what do I ask when I am looking into one for sale. and what is a good combo for electronics. that will be good for racing as in ESC and motor? I do not know any thing about these at all so please go slow.. thanks and I look forward to any help you can give me.

How big is the track you're planning to race at?? Need to consider that in chosing a motor. Good starting point would be one of the Castle MMM combos, either 2200kv or the 2650kv. One is better suited for bigger tracks and the other for smaller ones.

Go to the track and talk to the people that are racing and watch them alot of good info at the track just by watching.
Not mine looks like a good deal: http://www.rctech.net/forum/r-c-item...team-rc8t.html

Looking for a used roller can be tricky and take more work. But I would only consider them if they have pictures! You can always tell how well the other person treated their stuff. If it looks real beat up and dirty, I would move on and keep looking. Used r/c cars are a lot like used real cars. You can be dealing with some one else's problems. I would ask what all is included in the deal and pictures only. How long they have had it and if they raced or bashed with it. Most nitro buggies and truggies are now available to be converted. So after you chose one, look on the web and see what's available. Here are two websites that can help:

Like said before I would go with either the Castle Creations Mamba Monster Max or Tekin.

Those are both race worthy and have a ton of thread's and info in this forum. But keep in mind that this route can be more expensive up front than nitro. But in the long run can be cheaper than nitro i.e constantly buying fuel, glow plugs etc. Hope this helps and keep us posted on your upcoming purchase.
