What is with those rear wheels and tires? Are those traxxas tires for the jato/rustler? I didn't think they would fit on buggy wheels if those are actually buggy wheels at all.


Check out my custom converted 8ight:
Sub 7lb, lowest CG of any 1/8 buggy

The wheels are all 17mm buggy wheels. I think the onroad ones are anacondas made for buggys and the front ones are different for some lame ass reason... I might get another set of tires to make it look good and for offroad driving. Maybe some cheap stock raze tires.

I'm not sure on the conversion kit. I might not even get one. I usually get a battery tray and make my own mount. I might get a kit though.... I might get a job then I'd have money. Can you say MMM?

I just installed the Losi kit, it was very good except for the motor mount I used a RCM instead. I do have a MMM controller I am thinking about trying a Tekin RX8 though...the word is they are pretty tough

Out of curiosity, I noticed you have two gel batteries wired together, what do you use that for?

I am going to use those for my electric bike. I've also used them as a dc power supply, wired differently of course. They're much cheaper then lipos and work great when weight ins't much of an issue.

Right on. I had to be sure I wasn't missing out on some other secret of experience.
