Got me an ofna buggy

coolhandcountry - Have you seen my buggy? (It's under the electric section). Right now I am basically re-converting it (for the third time!). I have a custom chassis made, that will be VERY strong, and I am making a VERY strong motor mount. I am not using a center diff, but a custom slipper based off the Revo slipper. So, that means that I am working with a completely custom design. Whatever you do, make sure that it suits you.

That buggy isn't a 9.5 MBX, since the 9.5 MBX comes with orange anodized parts. Also, the front chassis brace orientation is different.
It's not the Ultra MBX, because the Ultra MBX has a different upper deck design. It's not the Ultra MBX Pro for the same reason.
It's not the Ultra MBX R2 because the upper deck is different.
It's not the Ultra LX Pro for the same reason.
That leaves it to be ONLY the Ultra LX Comp. This buggy is compatible with the plastic differential gear.

In case you are wondering how I figured this out, I went to Ofna's website and went through the PDF files of exploded views of all of the buggies I knew of that could possibly look like the picture you posted.

Right on! I would use a 7xl, cheap, torquey, and versatile. The ability to run 12-18 cells and 4s-5s lipo will be great and you can make it a truggy. You can use a hacked E-Maxx motor plate to mount on the brake system or machine your own plate. Cold Fusion also has a universal motor mount plate for 1/8 conversions.
