Just got done bidding on a new Losi 8ight buggy on RCU and he has accept the offer of $295 shipped to my door. So the plan is to send him the money tommoro first thing in the morning hopefully and then he'll get it sent out tommoro or saturday so that it'll be here around tuesday next week sometime.

Here are the specs...



For now here are some pics of it from the guys whos sending it to me...

So you're a doctor huh? How do you find the patience to deal with patients at all?

Yeah, and you also used 43 as the diff ratio instead of 3.3. Are you sure your buggy tires will end up being 7.1" in diameter?

Hmm, should have refreshed this page before posting, missed 4 posts.

Looks like you need a 12t pinion to go 45

Yep just fixed it Ben. Ilpufxit, I meant patients as in not being patient...

That would be patience....not patients.

You do realize your tire size values in the speed calculator are way off, right?

Buggy tires are typically 4.5-4.6" in diameter and there is no way you'll balloon buggy tires 0.9" in radius without ripping them off the wheels first.

[brushlessboy16]

yeah most buggy tires are 4.9 ish mine were 4.6

and 2 inches taller cuz of balooning? doubt that

[Takedown]

Skellyo, I dont use the calc much so and i've never had a 1/8 buggy so the tire size was just an estimate by me. This is actually the first time Ive used it in one of my builds. BTW its fixed...

[Takedown]

I think everything is fixed now. Am I correct?

[brushlessboy16]

thats why there are presets....
