Just curious, but how exactly does a brushless buggy compare to a nitro buggy? Both with top end gear. Brushless obviously has the best acceleration, but compared to a top end nitro motor, how noticeable is it? And top end?

An e-buggy has about twice the power as a nitro buggy. Far more than the chassis can ever put to the ground.

what do you want as far as a buggy?

here's what I'll be putting up for sale soon:
