Does anyone know or have heard if serpent will be making a e-truggy with a similar design to the buggy?

Or what is a good way to convert the nitro truggy?

I think they decided not to make an e truggy for now. Rcmonster makes an 811 kit that works on the truggy. I have one and it's awesome

Really really thinking about getting this buggy to replace my 808e. Love the looks of this dedicated electric layout.....

This car has gone together like a glove. The only thing I had to hunt for was the shims behind the sun gears in the center diff. I found them in the front/ rear diff bag. It has +2 hubs and the shock towers are the same. Chassis braces are not. I'm making a list of the hop ups that are avail from the buggy that work. Alum steering servo horn is a bit tricky but with a countersunk washer and a couple of the serpet conical washers i got an alum horn to bolt up. I have about 6 hours into it and here's what it looks like. Just shocks and electronics left. Work of art is right. One pleased racer here. Have to get it dirty on sat.
