Is there an eBuggy 2.1 coming out ? I still have my 1.0, and thinking of later on converting it to an onroad GT car, then waiting for the 2.1 eBuggy...

I doubt Serpent will drop their 1/8 electric buggy, and I doubt they are going to go through a chassy redesign soon given they release the nitro 2.1, so I'd say they will at some point.
Big question is 'when' I guess......personally, I'd sit on it until we hear something

Could I get the details of the piston/oil setup?

So new setup in place on the buggy, went out to Loganville for our second series race. Practice was good until my servo wigged out. In trouble shooting, ended up just moving the entire electronics tray from the etruggy over to the ebuggy. Finished right before the first qualifier. Went out, and 2 laps in, the inner motor mount screw backed out and into the gear mesh completely locking up the drive train. Fixed that, second qualifier, one of the screws in the steering rack came out, again resulting in a DNF. Rough start nonetheless, but the buggy was feeling good. Handled well, though wanted to nose dive off several of the jumps. My thought is the front did not have enough dampening compared to the rear causing the rear to kick up. I wanted to flip the front pistons (to taper down), but with the other issues, was just trying to get in a clean run. 3rd qualifier started well, and while I made more mistakes then I wanted to, moved from 6th place in the D-Main in qualifying (I had 2, 2 lap runs) up to 3rd in the B-Main. During warm-up, my car got pummeled a few times, and just lost focus. The main itself was very messy, and I made a lot of mistakes. I had fallen to last a few times and ended up in 6th (out of 12). Buggy felt very good, the rear was much more planted then before. The handling is where I want it, but the jumping is not quite there.

Need to get a new servo coming, but should be good for AMS next weekend. ETruggy was great until I stole the electronics out of it to make the ebuggy work. Jumps and flies wonderful, turns in quickly, yet back end is controllable and can slide it or lock it in at will. Very excited for the big race in 2 weeks.

do you have the new setup parts in the e truggy chick like it had one the website

Not sure which parts you mean specifically? I had a 1.0 811T that I converted with the kit. New chassis, rear tower, drive shafts, electronics tray and battery boxes, as well as center diff mount and front and rear chassis braces. I built it pretty much off of Joe's setup that Chicky posted, using the buggy spindles, 10* hubs, and rear v2 uprights. It's simply awesome to drive!

yeah I am talking about this one they just post up
rear uprights 600476
castor blocks 600136
2.0 front swaybar 600337
2.7 rear swaybar 600239

Not in the kit, but I am running all of those pieces. I bought the sway bars, but had the other pieces from my 811 buggy spares. I am also running the aluminum front spindles.

Orcadigital- sorry I missed your question! The last two weeks I've been on RCtech holiday for the most part- some racing buddies had me build 4 (yes, 4!) Complete Cobra Ebuggies. They came and got them on Saturday, loved the cars, and one of them put it in the A Main at our local tracks trophy race this past weekend. It was awesome!

The piston/oil setup we were using, as copied from Joe's Mugen challenge setup, was 8x1.1 front with 37.5 and 6x1.1 rear with 27.5- both with taper facing up. I still have that in my car, and if the track is smooth it works very well. In Cush's car however, he swapped to 4x1.1/4x1.3 front with 45 and 6x1.3 rear with 35- both with taper down. We use Losi oils.. He did that last weekend on a much rougher track and it kept the car more stable in the rough, but still jumps nice on big air/flat landings. Now that I'm done with building cars for a bit I plan to make the same change on my own car. :D

No worries at all! I am hoping to get to the ebuggy tonight or tomorrow in prep for AMS. I spent the weekend finishing insulation on the trailer and Sunday running my 411 in mod TC practicing for Kissimmee in October. The bits for my friends new etruggy should hit my house any minute and tonight is finishing up painting a body for him and helping him on the build.

The setup I had prior to this (Chicky's previous setup) I used I think Fleur's (might have been Truhe's) shock setup which has the 1.1/1.3 combo pistons but the standards, not tapered. The current setup feels great, but the jumping is not quite there as I said. I have been told AMS is a smooth track, but I assume also with the number of people it will get bumpy and rutted also. I did still have in the webbed bladders which (reading an old Chicky post) is probably a bad thing for bumpy tracks. I will swap to the regular bladders, and build a second set of shocks to Cush's setup above and see what works best.

New servo arrived (fried my old KO about a week ago) so can swap back radio trays with the truggy and get everything back together.

Anyone else from the 811 family going to AMS this coming week? If so, feel free to stop on by, dirty white 6x12 trailer, distinguishable only in that it is being towed by a Porsche Cayenne. We'll have 2 of the 811T-e etruggies, myself with the 811be, and my friend with his MP9 (still working on fixing that hehe). I am happy to help in any way I can.

Is the actual E-truggy kit still a week or so out?

I'm selling mine as well, planning to buy a srx2 and the e-truggy once it's released. Wish they had a trade in program lol.

seems like that not many people are running the avenger body,,,why is that

Most of the locals here are running the cab forward body, and that's a pretty decent amount as Serpent is by far the most popular Ebuggy around here. I haven't used it yet as our bodies are out for paint now, but the consensus seems to be that it gives a lot more low speed steering and a more aggressive feel overall. Looking forward to trying it vs the stock body.

Most of us around my area feel the Avenger body makes the car too loose. The lack of upsweep in the rear of the body, compared to the stock one, takes away a bit too much rear traction.
