Which is better?? EX-1 race roller or pro version?

[MOJO]

I need 2 now which is better bcz i'm deciding on which 2 get!!! This will b my 1st 1/8 buggy and i like cars a little bit twitchy!!!;)

Well, obviously the pro is better because it has 7075 t6 routered aluminum and cvds all the way around, etc.....

The race roller is a rtr without all the electronics, etc... It can be competitive on the track also. I personally run a race roller....

[vnmsgt]

I run a race roller too. I would recommend putting the aluminum chassis braces and e-clips. I raced it just like that and it did very well. Its obvious the pro is better though as it has all CVD's and aluminum toe block and captured pins but the race roller can be raced with sucess.

OK, does th Mamba Monster Combo work and fit on the Caster buggies bcz i heard that they didn't???

The race roller sounds like my best bet for now, unless i can find a good used pro roller!!!!;)

2600 does, 2200 is too big.

[MOJO]

yea, ut i'm running a 4s so that sucks???? Whats th top three motors that u recommend???

[Alfalfameister]

Does the Tekin 4030 (buggy) motor fit with no issues? (or if minor issues, what are they?)

How about the Tekin 4038 truggy motor?

Finally, so we can do our own research, what motor length, and what motor diameter, can fit in the buggy?

[Mr Fusion]

motors that don't fit:
Feigao XL (74mm)
Castle truggy motor (2200)
Tekin truggy motors
Novak (can fit if you really want it to)

motors that do fit:
Castle 2650 and new 1800/1900
Tekin buggy motors
Medusa 60mm
Feigao L (60mm)
Neu 1509, 1512, 1515 series
Losi motors
LRP motors
Speedpassion motors
Tekno 1512 motors
Megamotor ACN22/30 size

Car is made to take neu finned can dia (44mm) and up to 70mm length

Tekin buggy motors fit the EX1 Pro, EX1 RTR. Tekin truggy motors fit the F8T.

If you go with the MMM 2650kv, make sure to dremel out the chassis more forward where the endbell will sit. Or it will rub the chassis and pop the motor screw when flexing...

[Mr Fusion]

I haven't had that problem before in any car, and I always try to have the motor sit flat on the chassis if possible. I wonder if good quality screws make a difference? Not all are equal for sure...

I haven't had it happen either, but wanted to avoid it after reading the info on rctech.
