Thanks Overdriven & el Tomaso for the advice--I finally decided to go with a Losi 8IGHT-E 2.0 Buggy, Mamba Monster, CC1518 1800V, & CC 10AMP 6S BEC, & ordered a 6S battery to start. Got the buggy 2 days ago. I jury rigged a 5S setup for the street while I'm waiting for my 6S battery to show up. I just ran it for a few minutes (my 2S & 3S batteries are very mis-matched). I really love the off-idle torque this thing has--it just launches as if it is a light stadium truck--really liking it so far :) Seems stable at speed as well. After having had a few trucks (various Revos, Maxxes, stadium trucks), I wanted a buggy again (used to have a B4). I'm not the kind of basher that will beat the crap out of it, we will see how well it holds up. Honestly it will likely take some harder hits with bad jumps on tracks.

If an easy 1/8 diff option becomes available for my EREVO, I'll get that & play with it again, but honestly I'm really thinking of selling it--tired of rebuilding the stock diffs w/Al cups, not interested in spending the time frabricating something out of Losi diffs--time is just so precious w/2 kids.
