What esc/motor are ya'll thinking of using?
I had a Plazma back in the day, was assembling it when the space shuttle blew up. They say you can remember what you were doing when tragedies happen.
I'd like to get the Fantom, wish Kyosho would rerelease one of the vintage 1/8 nitro buggies.

When this was announced, he had hoped that it would reignited 1/12 interest for their parking lot racing. Unfortunately it will probably not available in time for that.

Only took a few hours to build. Everything went together nicely. Rear tires are pretty soft. Once the wheels hit the market I’ll be mounting up some donuts. Sits between 5.5 and 6mm in ride height. I’m going to change the rear axle inserts, cut a little off the rear tires. Going to be fun

Whats the LeMans motor?
I’m really hoping these work well on pavement. Unfortunately I know my time with access to a carpet track is probably running out in next couple months.
As much as I’d really like to just buy one. I need to first sell a few vehicles I’ve not used in past couple years. And get a better idea of what on road looks like for winter.

The Lemans motor were good it's it day. If you need a longer shaft you might look into long shaft pinions. I believe Corally had them at one time and others. when they came out orginally Big Jim did not have a Lemans motor in his. We also ran 1200mah sanyo batteries (6 cell).

exactly, and comes with both green and blue end pieces to match the motors of the 1980's
By extending the shaft length by 2mm, the long-shaft specifications optimal for the Phantom EP 4WD can be used with a standard 48 pitch pinion gear and deliver expanded range for gear ratio settings.

probably going to have to get this just to have a close replica of the car from 1983, for fun.
