Should be around 500.00 after coupons.

Already have one in my cart.
+1 .

Might be best ordering it now before end of Dec as the way tower does it, I think the bigger codes go way and then its just up to $300 for SS membership.

debating here ... Want one for sure, but with the class being VERY hit or miss, this will get basher duty too.

Might be overkill for that

I'm all preordered and now, the waiting game.

At least we have Xmas to distract us until the most important day of the year.

So far I've been pleased with his shipping and support. Bought 2 HW esc's and program box.

Anyone buy one of these, yet? Thoughts on the class?
Thanks for the kind words. That's my issue, no class here at LH Joliet, IL. but these look like so much fun, I may have to get one for myself, and hope they catch on.

That's a idea, I will have to see how they feel about that. Should be fine as long as I don't run them over.

But I have a Ebuggy also now what. lol

Thinking of getting one of these and had a few questions?? I know I've asked this before just want to make sure I'm doing the right thing!! I have a 1/8 buggy with a castle 2650 in it should I take the 2650 and put it in my truggy?? Is it power full enough for it?? I will be running 4s since I already have a couple packs. Also I'm thinking about getting a hobby wing combo for my buggy would the 1800 combo or the 2000kv combo be better suited?? I really won't be racing either of these since there are not any tracks any where close to me just love the hobby and love playing around!! Sorry for asking again just not very experienced with electric and want to make sure I'm going in the right direction! Thanks in advance for any help!

If you are one of the better drivers, drive the truggy in the buggy class. Position well. Make everyone notice. Sell 2 of them out of your trunk. BOOM!!! Class created.

I asked somewhat the same question then looked at other e-truggy threads and see that most people with 4S run 1900-2100 in there race setups. 2650 is more suited to bashing in large areas rather than the twisty environment of a track. So since you are not racing, I say don't go with anything less than 2200. I'm not sure if 2650 would run cool enough, but I'm not sure. I would certainly be careful with it in grass.

The 2650 should be fine just for playing around, the 2200 is more for a truggy though.

Any of the SCT Pro HW combos 2250 would work great, I run it in my buggy. You could go 150A but its not really needed, but might be a wise choice if your running for a long time and not in a race environment 6-10 minutes. Hope this helps

Since the masses run Tekin, the masses run 150A ESC's. I bought a 150A for my buggy a couple years ago just because I thought that is what was needed. However, I've lately seen (on forums mostly) people running 120A ESC's marketed for SC in the buggies. I'm considering a 120A unit for this truggy.

If it was anything else I would say go for it. But a truggy I would say 150A your call. If it was my own I would try it, but I wont tell you to.

I raced with a mamba max pro in truggy on several occasions. This esc is supposed to be 120a and I found it to be plenty. Id still opt for the gen2 rx8 anyday though. Well worth the extra cost for the tunning options.
