My New Buggy, will soon be Brushless

[maddog2099]

I recently picked up a 1/8 Ofna Buggy from somebody on another forum. This is my first venture into buggies, and I don't know a lot about them. I picked up this roller for $70 shipped which I thought was a good deal, not really sure. It's pretty dirty, but nothing a good scrubbing can't fix. It came with Servos in it, though I will probably change the steering servo out to a Hitec 645 that I have lying around. I have a Feigao 7XL that I just picked up, and have a MM coming. Now I just have to decide what I want to sell in order to afford a nice 4S 6000-8000 Lipo. I do have a couple of questions about it though, the person I got it from said it was an Ofna 9.5 though I don't know if that's true, or if it is a 9.5 which version it is. If anybody is able to throw a guess at which model it is I would appreciated it. Here is a link to where the pics I have are.

I would say it looks enough like a 9.5.... he's probably correct.

Take some simple green or similar cleaner and soak it good.... scrub brush it.... then rinse and spray it down with DW-40 and it will look pretty good.

Looks like a good deal... and the setup is a good start... don't gear that 7XL too high and feed it some cooling air

Where can I get a delrin or plastic spur for this thing. The spur is actually the back plate of the diff, and is the mount or one of the bevel gears. Is there a direct bolt up Spur, or will I have to fab a mount?
