please keep the information comming though
2jim,an 1/8th scale electric is alot harder on the drive system the an e-revo. No slipper and lots of torque. There's really no advantage and two distinct disadvantages I can think of:1) aluminum shavings all over inside my buggy, 2) less money in my pockets!
