(Poll) do you have a buggy motor??

[Aventador2004]

I want to take a poll to see what percentage out there have a buggy motor. If you do just post yes or no if you don't own one.

Disclaimer: this is my own poll and I will not use names or pictures, just the ratio of yes to no of owning a buggy motor.

It may be to show that sometimes buggy motors might not be fair.

Edit: I don't so I will factor that in.

Nope 

I wish I did, but too expensive

That is exactly why I asked.

[Sylvian]

i have 2,. Never use them 

 

[braker23]

I have 2, I use them as often as I can :)

[msk6003]

I have 4 of tham. VERY useful if want extrimilly fast speed.

But not useful it's shape.

Nope.

[TechnicRCRacer]

I have 3! Lucky me!

[Erik Leppen]

I had the one from 8421, but I rarely used it, exspecially with the advent of PF, so I sold it one or two years back and switched to PF only.

[Aventador2004]

Seems like a lot more people have buggy motors than I thought.

[RohanBeckett]

I have 6,  Two 8376 Hot Flames, and one 8475 RC Race Buggy

I use them from time to time, although not a lot lately, since I mainly build GBC's these days, and these are not the type of motors I want to run for hours/days on end! (due to their value!)

 

[tibivi]

I have 13 at the moment, but all of them are in use.

I think that they are fantastic motors because of power, shape and the sound they make. :p

 

[DrJB]

I have 5 total, 1 came with the 8421 crane, and 4 (2 each) came with RC Hot Flame. One Flame is still sealed.

[mocbuild101]

I have 4

I wish I could use all of them at the same time!

WHAT!!! why (and how) so many?

[technic_addict]

I have several and only two of them are in use. Wish more MOC's used them.  Currently the only MOC I have them in is the Deadly Nightshade off-road buggy.

Well, 4 from 2 8366 supersonic rc's, 4 from 2 8475 buggy, one from 8421, one from the accessory pack and Three bought separately.
I was into them some years ago before they went expensive and I putted them in almost every new mod I made for the reasons above. 

Back then I was sort of competing with a friend to make the best drivable fast rc car (before brick and such), I also made a huge pick up with 4 rc buggy motors for a pneumatic pump to drive a lpe and there was a challenge to make the 8660 rc with suspension. 

[Tommy Styrvoky]

None here, I want to get a couple, though the applications for me would be rather limited, because they would only be powerful enough for smaller models.

[allanp]

I have 3.

It seems people either have them or want to have them. I have them and i want more, but i agree the form factor isn't the best. We need a PF extreme motor with the same internal motor as the buggy motor and fast output speed.

... powerful enough ...

I think I recall seeing this discussed a while back but do not recall ... Yes, these motors are 'powerful'. As such, they draw more current than current PF motors. The question is: Are they compatible with the PF power supplies? (current limiting and load/heat)

I couldn't even deny having them. My latest MOC is a traitor.

It's more of a torque to speed ratio sort of thing, not a power source issue. As if I wanted to use one in a larger model, I would need to gear it down to a 1:5 or 1:9 ratio, and it could still have issues with the power supply under high strain applications.

[M5Technic]

yep, use for buggys and thats about it

[offroadcreations]

I don't have any... 

[ColletArrow]

I have none, and never will do as I have no use for them; m-motors are sufficient for my humble trains' needs ! (although a buggy-motor-powered train would be interesting...)

[kbalage]

I have 8 of them currently, all of them built in. The BuWizz unit and Buggy motors are very good friends :)
