i've seen some really fast buggies. my lx-1e should be here on tuesday and i bought a 18-20t novak pinion combo to do some speed runs on 6s with the castle 2200kv motor i bought for it. should be good for at least 80mph. any faster and i will need belted tires.

i've seen another lx-1e in person and the quality is very good for the price. the quality is better than my CEN matrix, but not quite as good as my crt-x2. it isn't too nimble on the track, but it should be just fine for speed runs. if you want crazy speed, limit the shock travel to lower it, use a 2200 or 2650 motor with 6s and a 26t pinion, and get belted tires. that setup should be good for at least 90mph. the center diff will make it easier to keep the front down as well.


They say a good mechanic only needs 2 tools - WD40 & Duct tape. If it moves, and its not supposed to, duct tape. If it doesn't move, and its supposed to, WD40.
