Best budget 1/8th combo?

[pete2222]

Can anyone advise what is currently thought to be the best low budget choice for a buggy?

[acaciapiks]

best combo is Mamba monster V3
it's not the lower price but it's a very good quality

[johnnygibbon]

nothing wrong wi ezerun. reliable and sturdy fast wi strong brakes. 4 cell only though. reckon the exceed might be ok but never owned one so not sure

Well, I just want to know if there is anything out there that's at the cheaper end, but still pretty good. Maybe £150?
I am thinkng about trying 1/8th scale electric, but only if I can get running for a sensible price, otherwise I will stick with what I have for now (1/10th scale electric and 1/8th scale nitro)

[JonyNitro]

well I just bought another Mamba monster combo near new for £160, but you could look at the hobbyking website for the 150 amp esc and pic up a motor and a lipo very cheap,from the same site

This does look good. does anyone have any experience with it. Is it likely to be durable?

[JonyNitro]

if you run 4 cells you will be fine on the ESC's they are sensored/sensorless which for £60 is good but they are HHHuuuugggeeee

The HobbyWing XeRun combo is alot better than the EZrun. You can buy that for $200 at HiModel.com.

[jasonwipf]

for the slight cost difference Monster mamba combo is better than EZ run. IMO

mtroniks beast?

or i hear the 150amp xerun is awesome, couple that to a novak hv motor and you can run sensored, so would be as smooth as a badger!

there massive i have just got one and i dont like it as its too big here some pics



I have only just got it and set it up only tested it outside and i turned down the timing to stop the cogging as it said and by you can tell why they are cheap cogging isnt the word jerk riping the steel spur to bits etc . dont buy 1 the not worth it pay the extra cash you pay for what you get lol

[mark christopher]

seem good so far

[losi madness]

I would buy a mamba combo or a ezrun combo but be aware that the motors only take 4s and not 6s as the motor get too hot and burn out . Or buy the tekin rx8 combo best sytem you can buy, but its a nice price at £295 from the uk but if you ship it ,its alot cheaper lol

[losi madness]

tekin is the best of the best you will get . all the other combo are ok , stay away from turnigy 150amps combo there crap as soon as you turn them on the esc start smoking and this was a new sytem from hobbykings

i wouldnt run 4s on all mamba combos :-o else you will be seeing smoke, the 6900kvs can only take 2s and the 5700kvs can only take 3s,

the the xerun are built to run sensored so its gonna cog running in sensorless. all sensorless do it thou some more noticable that others,

[losi madness]

tekin rx8 is 1/8 lol . I was talking about 1/8 sytem not 1/10 as i dont use them only tekin rx8 and mamba monster lol and ezrun 1/8 combos . I only use a 1/10 sytem in my d4 when i use it about onces every year .as buggys cant keep upto abuse my trucks take

and 1/10 mamba 5700kv only take 2s lol they dont take 3s.l, and the 5700kvs can only take 3s sorry your wrong 5700kv only take 2s max lol
