Scale 1/8 buggy

[Sylvester]

Welcome to the forums!

Not sure on the body. The lightning 2 pro looks like a great candidate for BL!

The 8xl will be more than enough to power the buggy. A Mamba maxx is perfect on 12 cells with a UBEC. I would reccomend a fan on it. The MM has great brakes, so no problems there.

Id try to use a Plastic spur gear for the center diff, and a 5mm bore pinion off mike.

Glad the stuff I decribed will work well, at those budget prices hopefully it wont be too long before I can afford one. i was half expecting to hear that all that stuff wasnt suitable and I'd have to spend a lot more than that to make it work reliably.

Any idea how to gear the 8xl in a lightning 2 pro? ie what size spur and pinion, should I wait till I get the buggy then count the teeth and get direct replacements? or will I need to use a different size spur and pinion for a higher/lower than stock ratio in my set up?
