Can't understand this, everybody is talking about brushless conversion of their 1/8th buggy here around...

And God these are really fun !

For my side, I sticked to 1/10th electric since... wow... 25 years?

Just swapped from old Ni-cd to Ni-mh and then Lipo and brushless motor.

If you would have told me in the eighties, that a 1/10th electric buggy will do 80km/h on pavement and with LiPo lasting around 15 minutes in 2010, while we were struggling to last 5 minutes with 16*2 motor at this time, I would have been dying laughing... and now this is real.
