Yes! The LX-1E is a great buggy for the price.

You can use it stock for offroad bashing. OR add a Ofna GTP Bumper set (2 Screws) and zip tie the suspension to slam around the street. My DAD has this buggy and we do both, just as mentioned above. He runs 5-6s on the MMM 2650 combo stock gearing. 14/51. Thing blows past my 8ight 14/43 gearing and only problem we have is, not finding a belted offroad tire. The GRP Rally tires work Great for street. See my thread for my 8ight, I will get some pics of my dads LX for you...

Highly Recommended for the price...

EDIT: Josh this buggy is NOT geared the same as usual buggies, I believe the F/R diffs are 44/14 not 43/13.

You can probably reach 75-80 easy with foams and 6s. Blow away the rustler


Maxx - FLM, MMM, CD Med.36x706s
Raja - FLM Ext. MM, 1512, 4s
SC8ight - MMM, 1520, 6s
D8T - MMM 1717 6s
