I want a good amount of speed, around 40mph, and preferrably run off of 6cells, maybe 7. what would be a good, affordable system for this buggy, thanks for all of your help.

On 7 cells, the novak ss is the easiest way to go. The little buggy really doesn't need a whole lot to get to 40mph and the Novak will accomplish this pretty easily. It may even do it on 6 cells, but on 7 cells, it would be a no brainer. The Novak is also among the least expensive systems available, as well as being very smooth.

Yes, I carry the Novak system. There were some problems with some of the systems early on, but Novak is an excellent company that stands behind their product. It is standard brushless stuff-low maintenance. I have had one for well over a year and I haven't had any trouble with it at all.The nice thing about the novak also is the fact that it is plug and play. If the system give you trouble, Novak would repair or replace it quickly. The Novak is not as powerful as some of the other systems out there, but the 1/10 buggies don't need too much power to be fast, due to their light weight.

$229 for the SS5800. It is a nice little system for your b4.
