Okay due to your help on these forums, I chose the Caster EX-1 1/8 buggy. I ordered it Monday 11-9 anyway I am about to order the KO PROPO EX-5UR but understand it only works on digital, is this gonna be a problem? The SLASH has a digital steering servo so it will work on both cars if I buy a digital servo for the Caster???

2nd Are the Hobbywing ESC good? I am on a budget for an ESC/Motor combo around the $250.00 point.

Basically I got around $450.00 bucks to finish the car, I have a charger and lipo packs I'm gonna use my two REEDY 5000 packs.

So I figure 189.00 for the Ko EX-5UR with tax and little extra that will leave me with 250 to buy a esc and motor, can it be done without buying complete junk if thats the case I'll just wait it out and finish the car after the holidays.

Thanks for all the help

I don't know the specific answers, but having been in this hobby for over 20 years I can tell you that it is always better to wait a bit and get the right piece of equipment. As opposed to buying what you can afford now, even knowing it's not really what you want.

However having said that, I just went for a new Losi 8ight E 2.0 because it was a deal. Now I have to hope that I am one of the lucky ones who got an ESC that actually works.

I dont know anything about the KO system you are looking at, so I will not be much help there.
But the Hobbywing Power systems work great. Get the 150A version though, the 80A has been known to run a bit hot in 1/8th scale apps. Check out the Turnigy Systems as well, they are simply re-labled HW components with comparable prices. The new Turnigy 150A ESC has sensored capabilities as well. Do your homework and make sure you get what you want and you will be much happier in the long run.

Thanks I will look into the 150A, Im not a brand jockey has they say, but I don't want junk either.
