+1. Customer service can be rough. Most customers are reasonable people, but you will always get those few that are difficult to deal with. I used to work on cars a while back, and I've seen some crazy customers. There are those that just can't be reasoned with.
This may seem like a dumb question but which way around does the fan go? Sticker up or down? The manual indicates that the fan is pre-installed so that wasn't any help.

My 1700KV system took a good beating at the park this weekend and came back home asking for more. I'm comfortable enough in its reliability now, with the new board, that I might even sell my spare MMM V3 ESC.
Oh yeah, and I agree that 20C is more than sufficient. These systems are very efficient.
I am new to lipo's.Can I run a 20c 4s on a Tekin 2050 combo Losi 8B or should I go higher?What does tekin advise?I was thinking I would need a 25 or 30c?
need some advice on hotwire, is this a must for race tuning? any info will help. looked on tekin website but not much info there
For fine tuning, yes it is a must. For setting custom low voltage cutoffs, yes it is a must. For playing around with stuff you probably shouldn't mess with, yes it is a must!

It depends on what mah rating the battery is. The mah x c rating is the power output of the battery. Let's say the battery is a 5000mah 20C it will put out 100amps. 25C is 125amps. 6000mah x 20C is 120amps... get the idea? I haven't heard the amp draw of these motors so I can't say what they require. Maybe Randy or Ty can help with that.

I was going to run a 4s 5000 mah which would be 100 amps,I would also like to know what the output of the motor is as well and what they reccomend.
The burst rates are more important really. If you are pulling 100 amps all the time, a 5000mah pack would be dead in 3 min. The higher constant C rated batteries help keep batt temps low and that improves efficiency. But a higher burst rate prevents damaging the pack or starving the ESC of amps and hurting your performance.
Are the solder tabs on the motor far enough apart to use the male 6.5mm bullets soldered straight to them? If not how about the 5mm bullets? I would prefer the 6.5mm. If not I suppose a short piece of wire could be used to attach them.
I've tested with low c packs like 20c. I reccomend at least 25c or higher. You get what you pay for with batteries now a days so make sure it's a good pack.
The solder tabs "could" be used with 4mm connectors on them but I wouldn't reccomend it. I wouldn't take the risk of an uneccessary connection.
