Just got all of the pieces so I am going to start putting it together.

Thanks for any advice.
I run the 4s 70c 6500 SMC in both my Mugens buggy and truggy I love them. Been running 2 of them for 2 years now and still going strong.

Thanks for all the info.

So is the 46T spur and 14T pinion a good starting point for a 1900KV motor?

Thanks

By the way, Awesome looking buggy!

That's the gearing I've been running on a med indoor track with a 1900 Smc and it works fine. Outdoors I'll probably go to 16 or 17.

Where can I get a droop scale?

Hope to hit the track again soon with my 7 eco r been working some set up issues out i have the m2c weight kits and tappered pistons on order. Seems the stock shock setting is to soft for my driving skill or lack of lol. I have ran the car for 5 races now and no brakage isue at all i hope this car is like my 6r and i wont even need to buy spares as i raced that car for years and never broke a single thing also the buggy shows little to no ware at all. I am liking the slide out of the turns on power so i will stick with the stock diff gears for now but may change to the under drive for the out door tracks.

I want to ship my painter some bodies and was wondering if u guy's could tell me if these bodies work with this buggy and if they clear batteries? And is it true that I will only need 4500 mAh packs to make 10 min mains? I don't want to have to run my packs on their sides so can someone give me battery dimensions that I can run flat and w these bodies? Thanks in advance.
