1/5th scale

I'm looking to build a 1/5th scale RC Truggy and Its going to use a Max5 or 6 with a 7200w 890kv 180a max brushless motor running 8s instead of its recommended 10s and I'm looking for the smallest battery capacity to run for weight reasons but to still have a good 15 to 30 minute run time and...

I have a nice 1/5 scale gas (gas and oil mixture) powered RC baja buggy. It has a 36cc engine with a tuned exhaust pipe. It's fun and fast but it's extremely loud. And I can't drive it around anywhere nearby due to noise complaints. I was expecting it to maybe be as loud as a lawnmower or...

Basically here is the deal. When I put it at the default needle settings it will idle but when I give it gas...

How do you run your truck? I ran it for the first few tanks with the body. Now I'm more liking it without it just the cage on. What about you guys?

It's it worth it to upgrade from stock to 30.5cc big bore kit or just buy a better engine?

After a few tanks of awesome running. Liking at upgrading soon stuff on it, but nothing has broke yet. Just some lose roll cage screws. Painting the wheels soon to black with white blocks. Much more to come. Find my awesome losi adventures on YouTube. Search losi 5ive-T Adventures. Enjoy
