Does any one have any tips or settings to give the nitro 1/8 buggy a more electric type feel. Basically faster throttle response or punch. Thx.

Until VRC e-buggy comes along, do this for nitro buggy:
1. Set clutch to heavy/high friction/hardest
2. Set positive throttle expo on your radio.

I found the VRC throttle expo settings are not enough, and even my radio expo @ 100 is not enough. So I leave VRC expo at 0, and set a manual throttle curve on my radio with very steep initial gain, similar to what Richard said.
Works well for me:)

Posted by: Richard Bjørnstad (NO) on 28.8.2015 16:16:42 (UTC) Would recommend turning the power curve up to about 25% on 5% throttle, considering that the e-buggies have a very good power curve on low rpm compared to nitro.


the electric motor physics model creates the torque by itself, nitro and electric have their own physics!

Apparently next month they will be releasing E-Buggies on here! That should be the best change you can make! :)

Try turning up your throttle expo. Giving I more expo will make it snappy.
