Can someone list the parts I will need to fully restore my 8ight, like damper seals and such.

My dad tried to order the MMP and medusa 36-60 1300kv for me, but somehow it couldn't be done. I guess the medusa is sold out or something. Luckily my tekno set is ordered and will be here in a week or two.

I sent an e-mail to mike to find out if he had any medusas left, and if the MMP was available too. I could easily buy a 1600 or 1800kv instead of the 1300. And if that fails, impakt has the 1300kv in stock.

Impakt also has tekno/neu 1512 2,5d 2050kv for 119, and 1509 2y 1820kv for 99.

Also the LHS has just got the new silwer arrow esc, and the cirtix "soltless" motors. That'd be cheaper, and if I have to go down to 4s anyway I might just try the SP stuff.

What do you think?

the MMP (mamba max pro) is a 1/10 esc. i think an 1/8 buggy might be too much for the esc to handle.

as far as the speed passion silver arrow esc, for the price you're paying, you're better off with a monster mamba or if you can swing it, an RX8.

i think for all the money you'd be spending on the speedpassion stuff, you could get alot more for your money. 4S with a $170 esc is a bit pricey.

the other side of the coin is, what if you get the 4S esc and then buy a 1700kv motor and find out you should have gone with a 1900 or a 2050? you'd have no room to volt the motor up.
