This was the best pass of the day, all motor. It has a plate kit jetted for 200 shot that should take it to bottom 10s easily, possibly touch 9s if the stars align.
 
Is this one as fast as your old one or faster?
 
What model you working on now?

I bought a nitro 1/8th scale buggy a few years ago.

because I wanted to smell glow fuel and hear a nitro motor to re live my childhood.

it has reminded me every day since why I like lipos and brushless motors.
 
Anyone want a nitro RC buggy? Its an older OFNA LX one i need to get rid of or convert to brushless since i suck at tuning nitro engines

i nearly bought an LX2e when I bought this thing, but I was lured in by a $160 ARTR price tag.

it's got an SH .21 on it that shouldn't be hard to tune, but it's a bastard.

I've sealed the carb every way possible, teflon tape on the needles and idle stop screw, new o rings, o rings added to the banjo fitting.

It's just a bastard.
and this is why it sat in my basement for the last year.

when it runs it's fun, but that's about 1/5 the times I try to play with it.

 
Is it that one you bought from hobby King a while back?

I like the sound of them but don't like there head ache with them. Brushless from now on

yep.

the chassis is good and stout.

It's the same as the basher sabretooth/acme warrior.

If I can't get this thing to run consistently I'm going to convert it to brushless or just buy a sabretooth and have a full chassis and box full of spare parts.
 
Heck I started building a crawler last winter and haven't touched it since. Maybe someday I will finish it

Waiting to hear back on a appointment for an orthopedic Dr to find out what options i have on my hip/back. MRI showed a pinched nerve at L5. Almost 3 weeks with little change in pain and only able to do light duty work, i can only handle so much paper work sitting around with idle hands. Tempted to dig out the old RCs or just buy a new one.
