I'am to build a pure racing buggy, and i want you let me know what you think.
First, i'am not yet decided which buggy i'll take beween the Mugen MBX5R, the Associated RC8 and the X-Ray XB8EC, but for now, my heart beat a little faster for the Mugen

Next, my setup will be this one: MGM 16018, Neu 1515, 1Y (i normally take a 1512, but i've ever the 1515 that i've remove from my revo to swap it nitro), an EVO25, 5000mAh, 4s flightpower li-po.
My goal is to keep the clutchbell system and the stock mechanical brake system.
I want to take a RCM revo motor mount amd bolt it on the frame of the buggy, just right behind the rear center diff mount.
Next i'll take the Tekno RC Elektri-clutch adapter with the Tekno RC new compact flywheel, and use a revo 16 tooths clutchbell with MIP clutch shoes.
I'll install a servo just behind the steering servo, to keep the mechanical brake.
My goal is to build a racing machine only, and keep as possible the nitro trigger feeling..
Comments please if somebody here have ever did it with an 1/8 scale buggy.
I'll keep you inform of the projet with pics ASAP.
