I think the OP needs to state what he will do with the truck, 8 minute per race or general running around bashing style.
Putting undersized esc's in may work for 8 minutes, but try them for 25-30 minutes thru the yard and bad stuff happens lol. I learned early in, build a safety buffer into the truck.

Lol I was hoping that. I would like to see someone point out the advantages and disadvantages to a high voltage servo, what you need to run it.

The main thing is research the esc and make sure it will have what you need for you're needs. Sometimes I spend hours checking specs on stuff before purchasing to make sure it's the right thing. Good luck on whatever you choose.

Yeah I am. I've just got to figure out about programming. If you know anything about programming the xeruns then let me know to save me some time. Thanks.

Deciding on motors.
The smc 1900kv seems to be the best right now but there is also the tekin 2050, more price, but I'm willing to pay it. Send me some more input if possible.

Honestly if I could choose mtrs and could get a Tekin for a good price, I would go Tekin over a SMC. Not that the SMC is bad, but I'm a big proponent of super customer support, and they have some of the best.
Eta either mtr will do great in the buggy. Tekin is supported right here on the forum, I have seen it first hand.

Sorry haven't messed with the Xeruns any. I'm sure the programming is quite a bit different from the plain HW pro 150amp esc's I've used. What kind of problems you having? Timing, drag brakes?

And about motors, I'll see if I can snag a tekin 2050 then. Thanks

Just make sure to get the right programming box for the Xerun. HW makes like 3 of them, lcd type, for various esc's, and they won't interchange.

Okay, but on amain, when I get tekin rx8 gen2 and 2050 kv combo it's $10 cheaper than the 2050 with hobbywing. Any advice? I talked to a guy that uses all tekin and he says he never had any problems, plus I think tekin would handle it well if I did have problems. Let me know.

Looking forward to you're build. You started right, with a losi lol. Now you'll have a top rated system, that can be used in another newer version, 3.0 or 4.0, if you go that way. I had 6 trucks when I found Losi, Brushless hopped up 3908 EMaxx, sct's, hopped up mini 8, etc. I sold it all, when I discovered Losi8 buggies and truggies lol.

Lol that's awesome. For some reason I'm fond of associated and idk why. I wish they were top dog in 1/8, idk why but I think it might be because of their drivers. Anyway, idk if I'm going to get the airtronics transmitter. I still think I might go with spectrum to save on the cost
Or maybe I should spend the extra money. The thing is, I don't know how much better the airtronics is over the spectrum. If it's a ton better then I guess I'll get it. Still doing research tho.
