Some nice buggies. I prefer the standard mike setup though. It seems simpler and simple is best in RC. I'm going to be running 6s 3000mah packs in my buggy as I already have them for my trex 500. I'm glad to here this is a setup that can work well. Just waiting for the tekin motor and esc as I want to try something different.
