Well they dont make a 1/8th scale electric buggy as far as I know, so I think you'll have to go 1/10th. If youre planning on using brushless/lipo, then the drivetrain of the BJ4 should suit you well. Besides that I think those JConcepts guys are testing a similar setup at the moment. Depending on which setup you run, either straight(Original BJ4) or saddle pack(BJ4 WE), theyve got ya covered.
