Hi all, I´m sad to say I´m selling my e-maxx, the new one, with all the money I´ve spent on it it´s a sad decission but... I´m switching to buggies. I´m tired of driving almost alone on the local tracks and of having little (if any) competitors on my scale, nearly everyone around here owns a nitro buggy so I think it´s time for a bit of asskicking with a brushless setup that, althought won´t be able to run on official races, at least could fight against them when they are practicing.

So here is the big deal, what to do with all the things I own? The truck itself it´s going to be sold along with its hopups and replacement parts (a lot of them) and my Mamba Monster is going straight to the buggy,the hard part comes now. I own 4 packs of MaxAmps 2s 6000mah and two more packs of MaxAmps 2s 8000mah, and I don´t know if I could use them on my new setup, I´d prefer to sell them and buy some a123 packs (I´d love to have them quickly charged and saying goddbye to hardazous lipos) but don´t know if there is any a123 pack that would fit a buggy and be fine for the Medusa-60-2000 I already own.

Also I´m still not sure about WHICH buggy use in my setup

but I think I´ll end with the RC8 since it´s sold in a nearly hobby store and that way it will be easier to find parts for it. But that is, don´t know anything about that car and don´t know if there is any a123 pack that would fit and power the Medusa quite well (racing against nitro, remember?), and in case it isn´t if I could use the lipo packs I have or I´d better sell them and buy another ones, or even if I should buy another motor... aagh I´m lost.

This is going to be a long conversion I know but I´m sure I have to make it since I love this hobby and the only bad thing I have to tell about it is the lack of Monsters enthusiats I´ve found around my house (living in Spain).

Some advice?
