anyone know of good buggy kits or rollers?

im looking to race electric 1.10 or 1/8 scale buggies and looking for some good refrences on rollers or kits, got everything but the roller now, input is appreciatted

I converted an RC8 Factory Team roller. I used a combination of parts from rc-monster and rc product designs. I think the Losi Eight is the best for conversion though. The center diff is offset which allows the battery to sit really close to the middle of the buggy for great balance.

theres a guy on rctech selling a almost new losi 8 with mount for 225, good deal?

Yeah Id grab it up.. race rollers $429 at ultimate hobbies free shipping/no tax outside cali has some upgrades over rtr. version.

what about a motor for it, i have a mm controller was thinking of going just with 3s, the 5700 c-36 motor would bunr up probably huh?

probably looking at 8lbs-ish with battery and motor c-36 would probably fry, budget 8xl on 4s, MM & bec ? MMM combo this summer or MMM/MM-Neu 1512/1.5d 4s?

8xl on 4s. k any feigaos that will do good on 3s? how about a kb45xl?

I did a quick search on ebay for "6XL" and look what it turned up...

Holy #$@!#!$#!! Thats a big shirt.


All kidding aside i seem to see them pop up on ebay fairly often. Other than that I think offshoreelectrics.com carries the 6xl.

wow its a comforter! or a tent! thats crazy

i do got a kokam 4800 20c to run in it, so t should have some good punch

I think that was mine. http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z...CIMG0704-1.jpg Its a rtr version with pro towers, aluminum chassis brace, rtr body and a pro-line body masked but not painted. The conversion is a rcproducts and design motor mount and battery tray. The tray cracked in the front and I added a velcro strap to hold the battery in.

Anyways since it didn't sell I listed it on ebay. The buggy should have a good once over though since I haven't run it since last summer and the shocks should be rebuilt.

You also asked about 10th scale. Interested in an associated b44? I have one with probably 5 race nights on it that I was also thinking of selling. Really only using the kyosho rb5 so I have been clearing out some stuff.
