Default Pick a 1/8 scale Buggy w/ Brushless Conversion

Just a nice poll to add in the off-topic forum.

Feel free to post your comments on all conversions, but I'm picking one only.
Very tough decision for me.[&o] Let the Votes Begin!

I'm defintly racing so anyone who perfers one or the other post up! Thanks guys![8]

Added 5 more buggies.

No one knows what a Nitrage is lol.

Its sometimes a Truggy When it wants to be one, A MT if it decides its one and a buggy on the corners.

I have one and have completely given up trying to figure out what it is lol.

The 8ight makes a great converted buggy. Easy to do too. Go to [link]http://www.rcproductdesigns.com[/link]RC Product Designs. They have kits that use existing chassis holes. It's a snap and priced reasonable. There's a great FAQ page at that site.

I may go with the Kyosho Truggy STR.
I still have to pick one 8th scale buggy, so the poll is still open.

Default RE: Pick a 1/8 scale Buggy w/ Brushless Conversion

are you going to buy the kit or the RTR version of whatever you choose?


I am always looking for a project, and I found that I would rather buy the RTR and remove the nitro stuff than have to buy all the servos/receivers..........

for example, at amainhobbies.com the kit is $500, and the rtr is $560 (heck the spektrum radio/receiver is worth the extra 60 bucks alone)

I might sell the pipe and motor yes I'm also thinking of ditching the STR for a more cheaper RTR truggy.
The Robotronic RTR Truggy, I've never seen one at my track so id be a first for everyone to see a brushless one in action!
They also have a RTR RC8 also, man that may be a good combo Brushless RC8 with a Brushless Robotronic Truggy.[8D]

Yes, that is an RC Product Designs conversion kit. The buggy is owned by Tony Screwz...the screw maker.
