if you want an awesome buggy look at the xray xb8tq or the brand new xb8ec! i bought a tq about a month and a half ago and its so purdy and it drives great. tons of 7075 aluminum, matches my king headz saturated jammin crt.

Yeah, I've also thought about the XRay, too.
Thanks, Tallyram.

I just assembled a new XB8TQ. Those things are awesome.

Hey Dan, BTW, is the radio gear made of carbon fiber or 7075 aluminum?
Did you convert it to brushless, yet?
What setup are you gonna use?

I'm seriously considering either a XB8TQ or a Mugen MBX5-R.

For now, I've decided on the following setup:
- LMT 1940/9
- 8s FlightPower 4900mah packs.
- Mamba Monster Max HV

Unless this setup is a bit too much for the buggy, I cant think of somthing else.

8s is alot in a buggy. I wouldnt put more than 6s, since buggies are usually under 10lbs they should fly with 6s, 8s will be TOO much for it imo.

HA. Thers no such thing...

There is to some extent, but i just think Captn' will be happier with 6s, same goes for his wallet! :)

KYOSHO LANDMAX; half 1/8th buggy, half touring rally car.

why not a rally game car?:D

my humble suggestion...

twin tranny, twin BL'd, quad axled, eight wheel monster! all held together with a tube chassis!

Nay..I only need an easy to build up project without loads of custom parts.
The 1/8th buggies will surely need some custom parts, but not thaaaaat much.

Thanks a lot for the suggestion, though.

oh...ok cool....

i'm gonna work on a 1/8 buggy project too .............soon.. well, based on a 1/8 buggy anywez...haha.

once my txt is done...

Someone knows if Mike has a plan to make a motormount for the Mugen MBX-5 buggies?

hotbodies one, that will fit. do need hb or kyosho entire diff.

I think an hpi baja 5b buggy would rule the earth. Problem is a motor and batteries to match the 1/5 scale. But we are disregarding price.
