I've got a brand new Thunder Tiger #PD6868 CLR BODY W/D BMW HM, ER-1 lid. $20. I'll be at Corona tomorrow from 9:30am until 3:30pm if any one is interested.

The speedpassion combo is ok, but u have to use some type of cooling system for the motor! It can get real hot! Also threadlock needs to be applied to the screws that go around the circumference of the motor, because they back out from vibration if not done. One other racer uses this combo and it works well for him!!!!

I also bought a Silver Arrow V2.0 5.5R that I'm keeping for my SC10 4x4. I originally purchased the items direct from SP USA for my SC truck but realized that the battery I also purchased (from HobbyPartz) was way too big for the SC10. The ESC runs better with 3-4 cell lipo packs compared to 2 cells. Thus the reason why I purchased the 3 cell lipo hardcase.

You can purchase other motors from the SP USA website:

or the Silver Arrow motors:

Yup! Get some pmt tires! They hook up pretty well when they warm up! The protoform pf8 body is great too (cheap and strong) or checkout igthobbies.com for a huge selection of scale GT bodies! OC Circuit's next race is in HB surf city Oct 2nd. There should be a race for the GT8s! So come and check it out!

It would have been Jerry but his motor/ESC overheated. So obviously Jai took it again. You missed out on the fun, it was a great day for racing Bro!
