I've been running my 8ights for 3 years now truggy and buggy.. I must say my favorite combo is what I have right now.. I run a castle 1y in both the truggy and buggy, and keep one in the box to swap in emergency at the track.. MMM's on both and I run hyperion 4s lipo's, G3 5000's in the buggy and G3 6500's in the truggy. I couldn't ask for better setups.. my last two finishes were #1 in the a-main, and the prior two would have been #1 finishes but my batteries kept coming unplugged.. swapped from the crappy arse deans plugs to the losi ec5 connectors, what a difference! I should have made this investment a while ago.
