Wow! Amazing jump on that track.

Got a 1/8 E Truggy recently and im addicted as well. Its a cheap Chinese Truggy by River Hobby called a VRX-1E.
I would post a pic or link but not allowed to just yet. Newb profile.

Got some aluminum knuckles for it recently. Just wish there were more E Truggys in 1/8 scale out there other than conversions.

Beating the crap out of it here in Afghanistan. We built a track on the south side of our airfield. When i can post some pics up i will.

The class is definitely a fun 2nd class when running ebuggy. We usually get a solid 8-10 ebuggies on good nights with more people building cars. We just started the etruggy class in the last month or so, and more people are showing interest.

We will be working on the layout to fine tune some things before the Shootout on the 15th. But most of it will remain the same including the big jump on the back. I wish the other 8 minutes of the main were recorded too.

E-Truggy was fairly good around where I'm at,

But many sold off their ride in favor of something else to run. Not sure why.

CC sent me out a new set only to find out the new ESC was junk from the get go which also wiped out a brand new 5s lipo . YES I CAN SOLDER AND YES I KNOW WHAT IM DOING lol But non the less I still love Etruggy !! I do have a question for you losi guys what pinion gearing are you running ? And what do you think about 5s ?? cant wait to race this thing again
gearing should start around the 15/45 mate and work up or down from there

but 15 works good for a 2000kv Truggy motor


p.s. wow TY looking good and yes they are a lot bigger then anything i have seen over here in Australia

Holy crap bro!!! That Serpent looks wild!! I'm going to give it a look next. Just picked up an xray today as well. I already had an elite motor mount and it was 200 bucks so I thought what the heck. How does the Serpent handle? Give me some pros and cons. The body is really cool!

Dude I absolutely love my Losi and it's fully upgraded and an awesome truggy. I have only ran the serpent like 3 race days now and it is planted. It handles so so good and is very durable. I now find my self only running the serpent and the Losi is now a shelf queen. I was so pleased with it I ordered the new serpent 811be and I'm sure it will take a good bit of time off my laps. I'm sold on serpent products.

Looks like the rear driveshaft and chassis brace are so close together they would rub.

Nope no rub there and since the pics I have added the aluminum f&r chassis braces and it looks even better.
