Are you kidding me, what the H is this?

If I remember correctly, KC had a box full of Barbie dolls fall out of his truck at a race this summer. He may be interested in this stuff.

For Truggy, I'm guessing an I-Beam or Gridiron might work well on this track. All in the super soft compound. I don't know if this is going to be a fresh track or an older worn in track, so a couple of choices will help you out.

I'm not surprised that it hasn't caught on though, 8th scale seems to be where it is right now.

i think it was meant for new comers that want that big boy effect. kinda like the new losi 810 buggy, more of a novice buggy:)

Well no 1/8 Buggy racing for me at the Big K. started to do the diff's last night and found Rust... I need some bearings.. Ok no big deal. Went to Balance up and cycle the Lipo.. cell is dead again. This is getting old... I will just stick with 1/10 scale for this race. Thats what I get for buying used eh...

You have that right JJ, have to be very careful what you buy used, you just never know. Sorry we won't both be making a fool out of our selves in 8th buggy.

I know.. its been 1 thing or another with this thing.

I will put it all on the shelf till spring when I can do it right. I see Max Amps have some nice 4s 6500mah 150C packs that fit in the Ve8.

http://www.maxamps.com/proddetail.php?prod=Lipo-6500HC-148-Pack&cat=46

you think that is worth 239..

OMG that is a 5C charge rate.. so 6.5x5 = 32.5 amps.. You can charge at 32 amps ? WOW..

Charging at 10 amps makes me nervous

I'd stay away from maxamps, they don't have the best ratings on the market. Alot of people are having problem with them going up in smoke, not what they say they are. Read some forums on them you'll see.Not saying some have had good luck with them, but most have not.

I'd say alter the tray if you have to, but I personally would'nt buy maxamps, I have one of the losi 5000mh 40c and one of the venom 5000mh 60c both seem like good batteries, balance very well and charge at a reasonable 1c or 5 amp's.
