Is This A Good Deal?

I would probably use it as an everyday basher. Would race it when I can.
I would put a Hobbywing Quicrun G2 Combo in it.

It’s not a terrible price, if you’re able to locate parts for it considering you said you’d like to bash with it.. They’re fairly delicate as far as 1/8 race grade truggies go, and this one was released well over 10yrs ago.. The Losi/TLR crowd have been complaining about parts availability for a good while now on the CURRENT stuff from them..

 

[ZaneC]

It comes with a full box of spares.

Could I put the G2 Combo in it? I would think it has enough power.

Not sure what the numbers/specs are on the “G2 combo”.. If it’s a Truggy can, and between 1800-2300kV, then I’d say yes.

 

[ZaneC]

Mine is 3250kv.

YIKES… That’s likely intended for a short course vehicle. You’re almost guaranteed to burn it up in a 1/8 truggy.

What if I gear it down?
(I don't know that much about 8th scale cars)

You’d never be able to find a pinion, or spur that would gear it down to where it’d be useable unfortunately.. Mathematically. The spur would need to be the size of a Ferris wheel, and the O.D. of the teeth on the pinion would be the same O.D. of the pinion shank itself..

Why wouldn't the system be able to power it?

Small motor, big car

simplest way to put it.

I would get the Hobbywing quicrun 8bl150 g2 2000kv 4272 combo. Can be had for around $120

 

[ZaneC]

Ok. Sounds good. Gonna look into it more.

You don’t need a crystal ball, just 15-20min.. Check out the section @Greywolf74 took the time to setup to help folks for exactly this circumstance..

You need something like this QUICRUN WP 8BL150 G2 Combo w/2000Kv motor for that rig.
