selling emaxx for buggy

[tha5150]

new to the buggies. i had an emaxx i started out with for a year now and getting sick of it. i have a friend locally that just got one and now i am hooked. plus i just found a race track right down the street. looking at a few different ones to convert to brushless. Ofna 8 Hyper, Ofna Hyper 8 Pro 8.5, 8.5 pro, Losi Eight and another 8 Hyper Main.

not sure the differences in all of these are but i would assume the higher number means the newer the model.

anyone have any advice on either of these?
i understand all i will need to convert is a motor mount from Mike and a battery tray from Losi or Mike. is this correct?

what kinda speed/torque can i expect with a MMM and Fiego 8XL????

Out of all the buggys you have listed, in my opinion the losi 8B is the best . I ran my jammin buggy on 4s & a 9xl it was more than enough speed & power . The 8XL will be slightly faster . But it may have heat issues & a little less runtime depending on your gearing.

This is a rough idea of what you can expect using a 8XL on 4s. If your going to use a feigo the 9XL would be a better choice . I got a solid 15 min on mine before the lvc tripped .

whats the differance in the Hyper 8 or 8.5's and a Mugen MBX5R? as i stated, this is my first buggy and i dont know the differance..

I dont know the exact difference between the two ofna buggys . But i do know the mugen is a kick ass buggy . the parts support for the mugen is probably better nation wide versus the ofna . but the ofna are good buggy's. You can go here to see the difference between the two ofna buggy's. i think the ofna
s are good buggy's . But in the nitro world ofna's name does'nt seem to be as well liked as others.
