Hey everyone,

I already own a 1/8 scale MP 777 and thought it would be so cool to have another just smaller. Matched bodies and everything.

First off, what usually breaks? From what I hear the buggy is mostly not scale in shocks and some parts and more strength.

As well, I will be using a HS-85MG servo, Futaba 3PK or JR XS3 (whichever another receiver is cheapest) and a Novak cyclone ESC.

will a 400 motor fit in with no problems?

Last, Does ANYONE have a used/new Half 8 without electronics but with a motor and maybe a battery pack? Even a RTR at a good price Ill look into.

Get the 3racing shock towers, oil shocks, bearings 4 the wheels, 8 cell packs like URC sport or xtreme. and for a motor get a rocket 400 http://halfeight.com/forums/showthread.php?t=218&page=1

A 400 motor will fit in the Mini Inferno with no problems, as the stock motor is 380 size anyway, a 400-class motor (I think) :)

What usually breaks... the front shock tower, the steering knuckles getting stripped or something, stock wheels are brittle, rear hubs might break with serious impacts...all other parts a the Mini Inferno are pretty strong ;)
