1/8 Buggy Pic Thread
 

hey guys,

haven't seen a thread like this (if there is one please just delete this one of the mods haha) but i was hoping you guys would post some picks of your buggies as i'm trying to get an idea for a good layout and some new body paint idea... figured this would be a good way to figure it out is too look at what you guys have already done. Cheers

-Jim

My losi 8ight T-2.0 Brushless conversion

No underbody pictures yet still working on it. Have a mamba monster 2200kw combo along with hyperion 4s lipo. Will update as it progresses.

This was my first conversion, an 8ight buggy with a Feigao 9L(replaced later by a Neu 1515) and a Mamba Max, 3S lipos:

As you can see i didn't improve my painting skills...

I put the rear shocks on its original position eventually:

And the las thing i did was taking the ESC to the front:

Now, a little preview of the next step:

Rear shocks are going back to the front, and a carbon chasis is on the works. Is one of the lightets buggy's and it's going to be even lighter :thumbsup::thumbsup:


PS: Sorry for the crappy iphone pics, it's all i've got :S

they all look great guys... still gotta goin on my shell as the cold weather and snow over here in the states has dulled the rc flame for now :/ but i'll get back in the swing of it soon and get my shell painted and have some pics up for you guys

My Losi 8ight-e and T

Ah, come on! We need some underbody shots as well!

Is this better not much differ from any other losi conversion but dam it they go well!!:thumbsup:

Some nice conversions there - like the sleeving JonyNitro.

-Rcrcrus, I'd shorten the motor wires if I were you - less resistance, and less interference.
