Project fast 1/8 buggy on a budget

Thanks Hoov for the info and the links especially. I have decided to go with the MMM V3, almost ordered on ebay today but i need to work on my paypal acct. I will also be ordering a 8ight but just one stupid question, Do the different versions of the 8ight mean anything to me as a basher. I see a 2.0 version and two green box models. I think they are both nitro rollers. I dunno i just dont want to get something wrong.


So if I am reading correctly above that 6s should only yeild 60mph. Hmm. I mean not bad but....i dunno I was already doing that in the t4 so it does not impress me that much except for the obvious larger scale. I know the racers hate guys like me that are out for all out speed runs but like you said one more battery for normal running and im in the game. I just moved to N. las vegas and I havent checked out the scene for tracks yet so maybe some day....

Anyway I have decided on the MMM, def the lipos you mentioned (great value), Losi 8ight with conversion.

Undecided on the motor. I have read on 6s you should not go full throttle too long and Lee from CC said the 2650kv is only intended for up to 4s. Just what I have been reading. What about the Medusa Motors? Cheaper and if I burn one up it wont hurt as much. I dunno. What do you think. You did not say but have you have ran 6s on yours Hoov?
