Cheers. I have the Exotek alum rear bulkhead if I ever run RM, which should provide more clearance.

I'd recommend the HW v3* in the 6. It fits perfect in mid and rear motor configs and the wirings very tidy because of the switch. Plus the BEC wire is the exact length to run through the side channels no trimming required. Also switching to blinky mode is just a profile change. It has enough horsepower to keep all firmwares on board and data logging as well. Power turns off when u hold brake for 6 seconds, helps a lot when running back to back heats!

If stock follow the Kyosho manual.

If you have an Exotek rack, they gave some drawing and suggestions about shimming. It works for me since November.

Got quite a lot of play now, without noticing a big impact on lap time/handling.
Wear is created between metal bushings and alloy rack, nothing to do about it after a while. I would have tried Teflon shims between bushings tops and rack but I ordered a Kyosho alloy rack and arms instead.

I have both brands on my two cars with brand new bushings (had massive play with the exo part as well ran for a winter season every week almost ~ 3 months). I will update which ones last longer. The exotek aluminum rack with al arms and the kyosho ones on the mod buggy. I have a feeling the kyosho will outlast since its made of weaker aluminum.

the R is 19 grams heavier. You don't need an R though unless you run 4wd or below 6.5T. I am referring to the Black Edition of course.

According to our site, Black Edition esc's are the same dimensions. I haven't needed an 'R' yet so I have to go by that.

VTX10 BE
Dimensions: 30x32.5x16mm
WEIGHT (without wires):56g

VTX10R BE
Dimensions: 30x32.5x16mm
WEIGHT (without wires):75g

Lol you may wish to update the download PDF, the R is taller at 20mm

Agreed for 2wd buggy won't need the R and added weight/less turns than 6.5.
Cheers,

the R for the Black Edition or the Orange? I looked and you're right about the Orange, but I specified the Black Edition.

ahh I found it. Good eye. I'll tell Nick so they can correct which ever one is wrong. I'm betting the site is wrong based off what you are saying though.

Thanks!

yes. just update the box software.


I run a vtx10 (44g or somehting). chopped the caps (black caps) off and put a hobbywing 4x capset alongside because the blacks dont let it get fully under. fits fine. the older ones with silver short caps will fit under fine. Have a couple of BE's (56g) sitting there but never tried to fit it.

VTX10R is a bit heavy (75 for be. orange was 80-something?), but lighter than the hobbywing (93, stock is 40 or something). Go figure.

IIRC the VTX1 is the lightest...
