I Love 1/8 Scale Buggies!!

[jon2]

I drove my PCR PRO to make sure everything is in order and I forgot how much these things KICK ARSE!! I was jumping off a skate ramp maybe just a 1/4 throttle maybe and these things GLIDE in the air! I have my Picco 26 and JP2 pipe in it with stock gearing in it and I notice that it winds up real fast so I may want to get an engine with more torque. Still the thing books.
I just had to let everyone know that between 1/8 scale buggies and MT's I would be going with a buggy as they are more controllable and less prone to breaking. BUT THEY CAN BREAK.LOL

My Sirio Tmaxx is still fun but the buggy seems to be more dominant on the track.

Had to let everyone know

1/8th all the way!!!! Could not agree more.

 

[dougc]

yea I love my buggy also but when they break the BREAK!!!! I hit a parking curb with mine and every a-arm is broke... it make me mad the I jump it in the air and it rolls away from a bad landing but hit a block and it is broke for life.

I love 1/8 buggies too, but I love to have my savage around for the rough stuff.

I love the speed and handeling of buggies, and my savage gives me the MT fix lol.

 

[CorradoPsi]

yup buggies rock. I've got my XB8, a swift (thats for sale), a Hyper 7 Pro roller on the way. but i agree with AC48, keep the savage around for beatings so the race cars are always ready on race day.

I just may if no one bites this time. I will just have to keep it as no one wants it.

Oh well 4 more days and I am closing the thread for the last time.

I just wonder how my MBX5 will cost to drop in an engine. really want the Ofna 8 port 21.

 

[ZANDOR]

are you looking for a pull start?? 8 port

 

[UltegraSTI]

no u dont, go get a fantom 21, thats what i'm gettin. if u wanna stay in that rough price range. cheaper rebuilds, that r actually worth it. and much less hassle. silly that u have score an OS carb 2 make those engines work 1/2 decent and day n day out

Yeah but I kinda want one with least amout of tanks though so I may end up buying one from Bruce at RUSHRC.

Still looking though.

Perhaps but I am sure with pateince and sealing the mill properly I think I can get it to work. IMO though. I was looking at the Fantom 21 too...

 

[UltegraSTI]

did it. but every1 i see that has a hyper runnin day n day out has a 20e on it.

[jon2]

Who knows I may just buy one to compare the two.

I Love my Mugen MBX4 XR Works Buggy. Buggies are my favorite r/c's. I have the hyper 8 port in it and it books. Never had any trouble with it whatsoever. Got it with the backplate on it. Running with an Inline dynamite pipe. I got some great footage that you can find around here from the ECB Hampton Roads style. All was taken without the wing on it, And it still worked awesome! I have my baby in it, the steering servo. Which is the very pricey airtronics, with heat sink thing on the bottom. I dont know the name off the top of my head. But it was around 125. Then i have a Hitec 645mg throttle servo with aluminum dynamite servo linkage holder thing haha. I'm looking for another buggy right now for my tmaxx 2.5. I hope i get something good!




Later guys!

wasn't a shot, but a joke. sorry didnt make it more funny. oh well. further inspection of my engine 2nite showed that it was beat. and thus held mysteries the prev owner guess didnt mention (perhaps know, just a kid). good 2 see others are doin okay w/it. i just can't validate another b/c i saw the p/s prices 4 rebuilds. eeekkk. just buy a new engine.

anyways i have some stuff 4 my '7 on the way (radio sys and st servo), and a motor and pipe will b here next yr b4 spring. its been thru all full teardown and rebuild (made decision whether i'd sell or not 2 do it, wasn't goin 2 sell some1 some surprises). and i hope 2 b back out cuttin laps like i was in my videos.

boy was the buggy easier 2 drive than the SUT.

my only comparo is runnin the blackfoot and puttin the truck on the inspection table and grabbin my other AM pistol and my dad ploppin' my rc10 down and runnin the next class. nite and day.
