(im not sure what motor/gears id need to use to get the most out of the car, still learning) its beein some 5 years since i have owner an E-HPI.
please dont bash im a noobie
Well, we were all noobs once! I seriously doubt you will ever get 30-minutes on one charge regardless of your setup. Even 20-minutes takes research and a good amount of driving skill. Most guys gear their 1/8th brushless buggies at 45mph. There is no doubt that a brushless buggy can out perform any nitro if done properly. Good luck with your choices and refer to the 1/8th conversion thread if you have questions. Cheers!
