the motor mount on your newly aquired bsd is different than the redcats. the redcats motor mount is built right into the diff mount the bsd uses a motor mount that bolts to the chassis much like the earlier brushless conversions that utilize the existing nito motor mount holes in the chassis. other than the motor mounts though it looks like everything else is the same.
ah, didnt know that. its been ahwile since i had my E 8e.
I do recall that adjusting the gear mesh was a pain. I think the setup on mine makes that easier.
As long as 95% of the parts are compatible with the redcat then im happy. That makes getting parts way easier.
I was gonna take the buggy out today, but we just got alittle snow. I will have to wait till I have some time to make it "water resistant" before i can drive it again. Wont be too hard, as the body fits snug to the chassis and will help keep most of the snow out.
It is something to keep in mind when shopping for a used redcat, that HSP, BSD and a couple of others are basically the same. so if you find a good bsd or hsp or himoto that is basically the same as a redcat for a good price...pick it up! Parts will be easy to get and you will have support from forums like this!
I actually found a listing for this BSD buggy...but it came with a 8.4v nimh[:'(] This buggy needs at least 3s lipo to be fun.
