wheels I am assuming you mean tires????
It sounds like you are new to 1/8th scale, I would stock up on a variety of diff fluids, I would get 1K-7K, just so you have some adjustability and a whole assortment of shock oils, maybe 30wt-60wt. As you will learn with scale a drop or add in shock or diff fluids will completely change how the buggy feels.

if u want a fast engine look no further than the OS vspec with a 2050 pipe. Fastest most reliable motor around, 12 minute runtimes at LH
But since u are very new to this, i would go with an OS rg with the same pipe. The 2050 pipe will last u prolly the longest out of anything else. slow is fast www.czech-it-out-graphics.com 1/29/07 never forget....TTT Bringing old know-it-all blow hards back to reallity at a forum near you "Always Imitated, Never Duplicated"

The VZB (V-Spec) Is a very nice motor. A lot of guys run them at LH and have had great luck with them. (I have the non v-spec VZB and have been happy with it as well.) I know taht Sonny is running an EB modded Novarossi P5 in his buggy so maybe check that route out as well. It is going to be more expensive and possibly give you a little more punch. IMO the V-Spec is more than enough though.
The Jammin pipes are supposed to be very nice as well. I think the consensus is to run the JP-1 inside for torque and the JP-2 outside for top end.

lol dan
The reason i recommend the 2050 pipe is because they are designed specifically to give u the most power out of any OS motor Dan i think sonny may be goin the Vspec route very soon www.czech-it-out-graphics.com 1/29/07 never forget....TTT Bringing old know-it-all blow hards back to reallity at a forum near you "Always Imitated, Never Duplicated"

Yeah I have heard nothing but great things about the 2050 pipe. I think that Gabe just sold his for $50 actually. That would have been a steal of a deal. They are supposed to be damn tough too. (And I wouldn't be surprised to see Sonny go V-Spec. And out of curiosity does anyone mod the V-Spec??)

ok ill probably go with ths o.s vspec, but there was also this other pipe it was carbon fiber really , really light compared to the jammin but i think ill bend that one up i think it was made by vantage or somthing like that im not sure im looking for speed though and the jammin seemed really heavy ive raced plenty of gt's back in the day as well as on road just not this 1/8 buggy. but it looks so nice when i putting it together the thing feels like its gonna weigh a ton when the engine and pipe are on it.
