1/8 buggies and electric conversions some questions

[_paralyzed_]

Also, as far as buggies go, those two are kinda cheap/weak.

The ultra's are the base entry level model for ofna. RD Logics is really more of an aftermarket parts company than a reputable vehicle manufacturer.

I have an ofna ultra lx1e and with proper setup (shimmed diffs, thick center diff fluid) it is a good buggy, but nowhere near as stout as my ofna hyper 8.5.

If I were you I'd give the ofna another go and I'd sell the rd logics to some schmuck on e-bay.

And to answer your original question, buggies are the most durable 1/8 scale r/c's out there. The low weight, and low rotational mass of the wheels and tires keep parts happy.

You've just had a bit of dumb luck.
