1/8 buggy roller
 
hi there. looking into the fiesability of a brushless conversion.

main things im looking for:

1. easy to get parts for both locally and O/S
2. current model with parts still being manufactured
3. strong - i will need a bullet proof drive train and 10/10 strength all round.
4. in good condition

i will not need anything related to nitro or any servos.


looking at the hyper 8.5 PRO edition or similar

wanting to spend less than 300+ post, or 350 if its got spares etc. offer me some vechicles peeps!

Did you see TomB's Jammin?

yes i did, but it seems a little old and more difficult to get parts for than the hyper 8.5. but any comments +ve or -ve about either would be appreciated. just i know its much easier to have the LHS there to support.:)

Take 12a_rx2's losi man, the car is barely used and the 8ight is one of the best cars currently made.They are very tough and alot of people have converted them to brushless in the states, there is tons of info on converting the 8ight.There super light aswell and there is a reason people choose to convert this chassi because it WORKS!

Buy 12a_rx2's 8ight and you will have a fantastic platform to convert.
