After seeing that Ofna is going to release a Jammin CRT.5 which is going to be about 1/12 scale, I thought it would be a good brushless project. The truggy uses the same diff spider gears as the 1/8 version so the diffs should be nice and strong. The wheels are standard B3 offset and 1:10 2wd buggy rear tires. It has sealed front, centre, and rear diffs tunable using standard diff oil.
I am thinking of using the Mamba Maxx 5700 and 3cell lipo, probably the new Kokam packs. As for gearing I will have to wait until it is released to see what gearing I am going to need. The great thing is that they are going to be selling a Semi Pro Kit version which is a preassembled chassis without motor or electronics.
Any comments are welcome or suggestions for other components to be used.
