Oh and by the way the 8ight might arrive today and if it does Ill be sure to post pics of it. Ill also be clearing any uneeded nitro part off the chassis to make room for the conversion.

I don't think you'll be able to gear it that high without excess heat, but it may live for a few speeds run like that. I think something closer to a 12:1 FDR would be better.

Skellyo, How do you think 11/47 gearing would do?

I think you'd be good with a 13T pinion. It puts it at right around 12:1 FDR and speed with ballooning is ~50mph.

I never said I hated them. I said that I disliked them but hey the 8ight and the MBX5 series designs are the only buggy/truggy layouts I dont infact like so i said to myself I might aswell give a shot at trying out a 1/8 buggy.

Ya I didnt want to pop over 40k rpms because Ive hear the sweetspot for most brushless motors is around 35-40k rpms. I really hope 1400kv will be enough on 6s though...
