I'm been racing 1/10th scale cars and I'm about to buy a ofna lx1 what do yall thank about that car also i want a 1/8 or 1/6 scale nitro rock crawler
 
If you want a ofna buggy I highly suggest you go with the new Picco buggy they just released. I paid 350 for a new one off towerhobbies. The engine is much better than the one that comes on the lx1. Plus the Picco buggy comes with big bore shocks like the Jammin buggy has.
It comes with a pullstart but you need a starter box to break it in. The engine has a ton of pinch. The engine on the lx1 is not race legal either.
1/8 scale rock crawler...no such animal really. Rock crawling is all electric.
 
well the lx1 I'm getting it already been broke in its 200 and had a quart of
break in gas
 
The LX1 is a really good buggy. It come with a .28 or a Force .32 and they go really hard and handle very well, but as Scrogg said not race legal.
If you have sanctioned racing in mind the new Ofna Picco would be better.
Just for the record a nitro crawler would last 10 minutes unless you could water cool it.....

200 is a good deal, go for it. I assumed you were buying new. The Force .28 is a strong engine. You may be able to race it depending on your track's rules.
 
its not new its like new only a quart of gas through it and its break in gas also wht woul i need a water cooled rock crawler
 
Well you did say you wanted a 1/8 1/6 scale nitro rock crawler.
It will overheat in 5 minutes unless its water cooled.
Even running super rich to keep temps down it either wouldn't run or wouldn't have any power.
 
well where i get it is only 100degrees for a mounth it wouldent be hard to watr cool but would it over heat from all the high reving
 
Yes. Nitros are air cooled, and crawlers dont move. The outside temp where you are wouldn't make any difference after a few minutes runtime.
The idea has been talked about by people who are more into making something different rather than serious crawlers, but there is a reason one hasnt been produced yet.
2 really, temperatures, and the fact that a nitro mill doesn't have the torque capabilities of a high turn electric.
