your motor doesn't quite look straight on that last one.

This would be cool. Coverting a Losi 8 to electric. I dont know, but I'm addicted to buggies.
Id just like to have one to make the nitro drivers eat my dust.[>:]

It is off 2 degrees. This was our first effort in doing a conversion and the head was off in y axis alignment. It has been fixed now. But it has had no problems and we have been running it for ovar a year and a half. Same pinion and spurr gear. The biggest reason I put up both the first and the latest was to show that it can be done very simple (the second photo) with a minium of machine working. Or you can get very clean and nice with a little more work. Here is a link to my build on the latest Jato E3.6

tashpop-
Yes those are 30 series Wabash ProLine rims with IMEX 2.8 tires on them. We stripped off the chrome (they dont make black) and them used a plastic formulated paint. Here is my review on them.
