1/8th electric buggies are the future!!!!
Going to be big business in the not too distant future, I believe.
Novak are soon to launch their conversion kits for all the major, current, top 1/8th buggies. One company is ahead of the game and launching a specifically designed 1/8th electric buggy! Once one does it, I’m sure more will follow.
I’ve always liked the thought of 1/8th scale and loved the look, strength, size of these cars, but I couldn’t ever bring myself to use/buy nitro, to me it seems like ‘hassle’ the maintenance that goes with them.
A few of my mates have Nitro cars, they seem to always go wrong, and whenever we meet, I flick a switch and my 1/10th electric car is off and running, 20 mins later they are still adjusting things and yanking on a pull start. All they achieve is spitting fuel out of the exhaust all over the road, not my idea of fun and if they do get running they are slower accelerating and hardly faster overall, oh and also silly noisy… so pointless!
However, a 1/8th electric buggy would be the best of both worlds, big strong fast, no silly glow plug, fuel spitting, non-starting, noisy, messy-ness… just fast fun!
I want one!
