I remember when the OFNA Ultra LX2 buggy came out. A friend got a RTR unit and took a bunch of videos of it. I was psyched to get one myself. For months I told myself I’d get one, then I had a different I interest distract me. 1/8th scale monster trucks. Years later I still don’t have a Buggy, but I did manage to find a Losi 8T 3.0 Truggy Race Kit with a brand stinkin new Novarossi P5XLT for under $201 shipped to my door. The guy I got it from was super cool, and was a lot of help getting it together and setup. At the end of it, I am kinda bored with it as it is. I had the P5XLT modified, which added some enthusiasm , but it’s still not enough snort. I am considering removing the center diff and custom fitting a monster truck transmission to it, and putting a snappy RPM happy modified Novarossi 28-7T/9886/41031 combo into it. Short strokes are more my style. After doing a modified Picco P3 and a modified Novarossi 28-8RT in my LST2 trucks, and seeing how brutally powerful they are, it should up the Truggy to the “Epic” level.

warning: modified .28s in truggies causes extreme premature tire wear. Buy stock in ProLine.
