Does a Brushless 1/8th scale Buggy lose it's offroad handling ability? Is there already a sanctioned race for 1/8th scale Brushless? I am just curious coz I saw in the Video archives a Brushless Hyper 7 PBS that really impressed me.

Thanks and Happy Holidays to all.

I honestly don't know how a brushless motor actually works, but I do know that it is fast.

Here's the Electric Hyper 7: http://www.rcuniverse.com/magazine/a...article_id=467

they are all well & good in a short race but i bet i can come in for fuel faster than you can change Cells in a long final
plus i have also seen that a lot of the people who do the electric conversions mount their cells out on the plastic side guards! its putting a LOT of weight outside the centreline of the car & the handling WILL suffer as a result of this

Can't say much for BL buggies but the Kershaw designs REvo will just kill anything on the track for a good 15 mins solid.......but why get into electric when Nitro is sooooo much better .....I like the sound....I like the smell...and well I don't really like the taste I do laugh when you get to taste it.......it's more of a 5 senses thing when you run Nitro...Electric just has a "cool" factor for a while then it's boring IMO.....
