backdraft truggy or new model in he works?
I was wondering if anyone has tried to convert a backdraft 8e into a truggy? and if so how did it come out? I'm sitting here with cabin fever thinkin about this up coming summer's racing. I would really like to convert a backdraft 8e to a truggy. or if redcat came out with a brushless truggy that would be great too. SO HOW ABOUT IT REDCAT? ANYTHING IN THE WORKS FOR A BRUSHLESS TRUGGY? it is a much needed addition to the redcat line. thanks for reading.

I think some arms and bones and tires/wheels is all you'd need to convert a backdraft to a truggy?? But didnt Ali Shanmao have a video where he was testing a brushless truggy prototype?? Check out his channel on youtube if ya get chance! Someone may of asked when it was coming out, but I dont think he posted a response?

I converted a monsoon to brushless using a 8e motor mount and electrics. http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_9312311/tm.htm It turned out to be a great truck. Its wider and longer then the backdraft series and the parts are much stronger. The chasssis is also very tunable. Its as fast as the nitro and accelerates 10 times faster.

Yea the Earthquake 8e I am looking at that one with the twin lipos it can't be beat at that price, just doing some research on parts availability. lot of vids on you tube on that truck.
