Starter Box? - 08-03-2005, 08:25 PM

Is there a starter box that I can use for both a 1/10 truck and 1/8 buggy?

check out the ofna universals

The problem with 1/10 and 1/8th is the wheels are at different positions. All buggy wheels need to go side to side, where as the 1/10 usually go front to back. I guess it depends on what 1/10 you have

Thats a tough one bud..... See most 1/8 buggies engines are mounted in-line with the drive train and 1/10 scales are transversly mounted . I think you'd be best off setting up the box for the 1/8 scale and then try to start the 1/10 across the box

I dont think im explaining this very well somebody else chim in....

roc is right you can lay your1/10 accross the box but watch out you can start that motor running backwords if you dont lay it the right way...your bast bet is a box for 1/8 and pull start your1/10...

With my Ofna box you've got like 3 different positions that the wheel can go in so it accomodates about everything.

I haven't been able to figure the whole thing out yet. I put my NTC3 on it last night but the wheel just pushed it off
