bought a backdraft 8E!
I just scored a used backdraft 8e RTR with the lipos for $150. It could use a new body, but other than that it looks to be in good shape.
Too bad the weather up here sucks and snows on the ground. But I will be waiting for spring to get the buggy out on the track! |

You will love it. I love mine. The speed and power are amazing. It handles well.

ORIGINAL: edgeverse You will love it. I love mine. The speed and power are amazing. It handles well. And the oversized tires put alot of stress on the diffs, and steering parts. I feel the backdraft's smaller tires will cure what issues my earthquake had. I had even considered converting the E into a B. But then i used the brushless system in another model and sold it as a roller. I know i couldnt go wrong for the price! The BL system alone is worth $80-$100. It may actually be faster than i will need. If that turns out to be the case, i think ill use a jumper on 1 of the batt plugs and use a 3s lipo. |

MIne was an earthquake 8e (Jan 2011) from when I got it until July of this year.
The oversized tires, wheelies and constant unintended flip drove me up the wall. Not to mention the ballooning tires. I converted mine to a backdraft 8e. Now it handles great, on, dirt, sand and asphault. No more wheelies, flip overs, etc. And speed, wow this thing is fast. |

I'm using a 15t pinion and 46t spur in mine.
Is that a good thing? |
