my truggy (work in progress)
 

this is my truggy. i still need a motor and speed control. i was thinking of a 1930/8 on 16 GP 3300's,and a Quark 125. is this a good choice? i am mainly going to be racing, the races will be 5 min. long and the A-main's will be 7 min. i will be competing against nitros. thanks :027:

Nice! I would possibly go for a slightly larger motor. Maybe a 1950/8? What kind of buggy was that orginally?

1940/7 on 14 cell's is plenty.

The 1930/8 is a bit too hot, what is the exact gearing ratio on that truck?

A slightly larger motor would be nice for a 'direct drive' type.

A 1950 is not needed though, a 1940 would be okay.

If you shoting for 16 cells. I would go with a 1940 8 turn or so. it will be enough to push it nicely. I think the 1930 may not have enough for the direct drive like serum said. Are the diffs front and back 3.31 or 4.3? What about the spur you have to.

and these are komodo's, right?

What speed you want to hit? Is it a tight track?

hey everyone it was a OFNA ultra gt that i bought at my lhs for $100.

i believe that the diffs are 3.3:1 and it has a 51 tooth plastic spur. they are ofna diffs.

yes those are komodo's.

the track is small maybe 60 foot straight with tight turns, that is why i choose a 1930/8.



:018:

No reason to stick 16 cell's in there. Only extra weight, cause you don't need hypersonic speed.

i would like a motor that i could bash with 16 cells and race with 12 or 14.

1940/8 maybe?:eek:

That would be perfect.

some more pics. any idea on which body i should use? i like the croud pleaser

but the '70 cuda fits better; what about the California Cruiser?:032:

more....

again more....

I love the one from post no 13..

but that's just a matter of opinion, you need to choose your own body, that's something very personal imo.
