need some 1/8 buggy advise for conversion or buy an 8ight-e

[DwightSchrute]

well, i got it converted and everything installed. there was only one thing i really didn't like about the conversion kit. the motor mount. the way they have it, it really limits the size of the pinion gear you can use. I like tons and tons of speed so i basically cut the front of the mount in half. that mount serves no purpose being so thick and after i cut it down and polished it up, i was able to get a 24t gear on it. So being geared 45/24 it was time to take it for a spin.

HOLY S#!t the thing is FAST on 6S. I couldn't stop smiling the whole time i was driving it. it handles unbelieveably and is incredibly smooth. so i got another one off ebay for $279 and i'm gonna convert that one too. but this time i got Monster Mike's mount. his looks like it was made to handle larger pinions.

i'll post some pics soon. thanks for the help guys.
