finally picked up a "real" 1/8 buggy, a used Xray 808, just in time for next year this will probably end up being a $$ pit, but I'm going to try to keep it under control

now let the fun began

first off, I'm going for a <7lb buggy that is still grossly overpowered, and will make a 15min main. From what I’ve read the xray is the lightest buggy out there...

I have the time/equipment to make my own chassis/parts.

IDK if I want to do a single batt(everything else), duel batt(caster), or an "under the driveshaft"(Durango) layout. any opinions?

I have an RX8 esc, but what about motor?? maybe a 1509, Novak HV(14mm rotor), or a 1412...

batt voltage??

upgrades??

no matter what I do, I will probably end up making my own chassis from 4mm CF and integrating the batt tray into the chassis(think 1/10 truck)
