my new 1/5th Buggy! - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

Elcon Cleon 2008!
I need servos and a motor. I have a nice newly rebuilt motor by Zenoah with aggressive intake/exhaust porting, walbro 813 carburetor, ceramic bearings, machined top end, lightened piston, relieved piston, +2mm stroke, and a stuffed crankshaft.

Rwd single Diff single speed. All alloy with air brakes in the front. Each wheel in the front has a disk/piston using compressed air.

Pretty rad, and air brakes on these bad boys now! These have come a long way since I remember.

Did you bring it to work?....or does your home office have a cubicle in it?

How much? Top speed? How do the air brakes work? Where can I get one?

How much? Top speed? How do the air brakes work? Where can I get one?

Starting 2600 (I bought mine used for 950)

Top speed depends on the gearing and motor but this can get 40mph with a good motor.
That shaft in the canister right below the exhaust in the front is where the air gets compressed and passes through the cables to each brake housing. there is a fiberglass disc sandwiched between 2 pads and a 1 piston caliper compresses them when air pressure is applied. It is more reliable than the cable and hydraulic brakes. hydraulic brakes can have airbubbles and bleeding them is a bitch.

I think the Nutech Line is the BEST RC you can buy without passing 1k. Only thing is needs is a kill switch and a new servo and controller. The stock servo/controller are terrible but the motor is very good.

629 sale, you can always buy a diff body, that body is ugly.
