1/8th Scale Running Electric? - 11-03-2007, 11:26 PM
Is anyone bashing or racing with an 1/8th scale buggy using electric motors?

I've found thread on rctech about it and am interested in knowing more.

hey kenji

you want information overload? RC-Monster Forums - Powered by vBulletin . by far the biggest brushless/conversion forum on the net. (The buggy conversion sub-forum is near the bottom).
right now, i'm currently running a LSP-R truggy, and am building a HPI MT2 into a jump truck, using the electronics from my LSP-R
i've also got a PRP XR8 1/8 scale on road "wedge" style that I converted to electric (it's up for sale) and my first conversion was an Ofna Hyper7pro.

here's my latest thread at rc-monster (LSP-R buildup, and now posting about my mt2 there as well): HOW TO: Quark Mod / LSP Conversion *PIC OVERLOAD WARNING* - RC-Monster Forums

my XR8 thread:
14.2 second 1/3 mile? (oval) - RC-Monster Forums

and here's all my videos:
YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

so what's up? what do you want to know lol.

*re-read the thread lol. i'm out in Woodstock. I'm not sure how much more i'm going to be running this year, as it's getting too cold. lipo's are allowed now at leisure right? maybe I could bring it out there and run indoor?

Nick can you list everything you use for your brushless LSP?

Your profile says you are up in Woodstock. Do you ever take any of your converted vehicles out to race or do you just bash? I'd like to meet up some time and get a first hand look at your craftsmanship.

I get to Marengo sometimes. Woodstock is just another hop skip and jump.

Thanks for replying.
