My buggy will run 30-35 min on the battery shown in this vid, and it can be geared to run as fast as you can make your nitro go... I promise. ;)

No doubt a nitro can be very fast... it's not easy for an electric to match the top end of nitros... but don't forget electrics will always have the bottom end that nitros can only dream about. hee hee

Too bad we can't always put it to the ground... offroad often can't take as much bottom end as a BL buggy has. For example, in my video clip, I have to ease on the throttle to keep it pointed the right way. I made the mistake on the first lap, grabbed a little too much heading into the first crossover jump and got sideways... that's why I missed the landing and wrecked.

I won't bash nitros though... I actually like them too. But they get to be too much after a long day of hearing 10-15 at a time.... WAAAHHHH!!!!!! WWAAAAAHHH!!!!!

:D

very nice!! thats a sweet ride man, id love to make a brushless buggy. i wish the electronic stuff wasnt so expensive... the 8ight is a sweet buggy!
thanks for posting a vid, i always wanna see stuff like that but its hard to find...
i agree, brushless has the torque for sure!!:024: good drivin man!:027:

I wouls love to fly that gap with my MT's. Like glass doctor i love both, I have a 3.3, a G2R, a 2.5 converted to 3.3 and a Gmaxx. All run about the same speed (within 5mph) and love to fly

LOL sorry but i have to say, u could keep up with that buggy with a bl mambafied 18t man! speed isnt everything, but for speed bl and lipo wins top speed... and torque that is unreal! i like nitro and all, but i just cleaned my revo (peice by peice) for the first time, hasnt been nitro for a looong time and has used titians and i rembered why i love bl, flm pede gets dirty, sprey it with cleaner, air comressor and done =)

Well ;) if you mean my 8ight.... no you can't keep up with any 1/18 vehicle on a track. Speed isn't the only thing... size matters too. :) While the 18T is getting kicked all over by bumps and ruts, my 8ight will be ripping straight through it.

And just in case it matters.... the video doesn't show the true speed potential of this buggy. It was geared for a lower top end and I was trying to drive it very "vanilla" smooth... it wasn't hooked up very well and it was the first time on that track for me. I ran it a little harder and geared higher recently and it was a different animal.

On a parking lot or carpet... ( and maybe a super smooth clay track) yeah a BL 1/18 could do some damage.

NOOO im with u lmao!!!!!! i dont like nitro hehe, he was saying mine goes this fast and i said bl does better lol

btw, u did good at that track, looks like fun!:018:

Cool :) Even if you were talking about mine... that's ok too lol
It's just toys to me.....
