Losi bk bar pink in back, losi taper pin front. most everything is mounted up (shock towers, camber links, etc) to match wild cherry setup he has mentioned to use multiple times. key thing is I am not on the +8mm chassis. lrp sphere esc with a novak ballistic 10.5 on board.
car is a handful. I am a decent driver (drive an sc10, run mostly in the amain of 36 drivers). buggy jumps awkward, pushes on slow and high speed steering, is loose as can be under power. Ive tuned down the power which has helped.
my main question. I just got losi bb and plan on converting. honestly I do not want to put much more $ into if I should just buy the worlds edition instead. the +8mm is around $50 and I can buy a worlds for $250. Im a low budget racer, need to spend my $ in the important areas. honest feedback, some setup tips to get this thing rolling or simply go buy a worlds and be done with it? appreciate the help, as I mentioned have been reading for about 3 months and you guys are great on the forum.
That makes me question the BK bar/Tapper pin tire choice...but I would guess it's what the fast buggy guys are using? It doesn't take much dust on a med. bite track for a car to go from the penthouse to the outhouse on a BK style tire...IMO
