brushless xb8 project!

[t-maxxracer32]

so this was the old "why are buggies popular" thread and i edited it to my xb8 conversion thread!!

that way i dont have too many threads...

ik serum hates that

heres the xb8 that i just bought right now on ebay
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEBI:IT&ih=008

i figured it was an OK deal since it looks pretty new and it retails for around 550-650.

all i need to buy for it is an esc and motor and motor mount because i have a 4s evo 25 battery and rcms battery tray....


so i was thinking.....

mm esc with a
plettenberg or neu or feigao or something...
and a cc bec

how does that sound?


im not sure what type of speeds im looking for but this will be my race buggy.... so im guessing like 35-40? some good acceleration is a must.


if i get a feigao i can basically buy it right now... if i get a neu or some other expensive motor it may take a while.

im still saving for that lcd tv and this didnt help me out much

im selling off my paintball gear so after i get rid of that ill have enough to buy the lcd and will have some extra money left over for this project.

sooooo just let me know what you guys think!
