I think this was talked about but I can't find the answer I was looking for. I am guessing the ESC from '12 will work on my T4 when I get it, but what about other brands aside of X-ray make decent ones. Anyone use the spec r? I'm guessing the v2 is better then the older ones I obliterated in my '11. Or do we not even need them with the new car.
I ran my T4 with you yesterday with the stock drives. I also ran the stock drives in my T3 as well.
But... I think I will put in a set of the ECS's in the T4 this round.

I see almost all of the set up sheets on the Xray site seem to have the rear diff in the up position not like the basic carpet set up.
What are the handling differences/ advantages?
I just got my car and have no time to test, want to show up with the best starting set up.

You got last place at IIC right? 
I plan to run standard axles in my t4, if you can do that well without them at IIC I think I'll be ok at the club level without spending the extra $100 for the ecs.

I know of a couple that had the front bumper screws pull through the chassis due to the new design of bumper not 'meeting' the bulkheads, but no-one with spur problems.

I'm sure in mod every little bit helps. Did you run ecs' when you were running 17.5? I'm just curious if you notice the difference as much in a slower class? Also, you and I are the only ones running P37's, anybody ever tell you that you are crazy for running this body? Everyone seems to think its the worst body out there.

I know racers who run the regular drive shafts in mod because they bind up and help to slow the car down, around here you will see everyone running fast in spec classes run ecs because the drivetrain runs smoother. The car just feels better at full lock with them, I have been running the spec r v2s lately and they are holding up the best for me, I did change the pins though, the stock ones are not great.

Well, I run 64p gears. Only takes less than a millimeter of the motor shifting to ruin a spur. Maybe I should put friction washers under the screws that hold the motor. I can send you a pic of the flat spot on them if you still can't believe it. I'm not a hack either, I'm not Paul Lemeiux but I'm being racing R/C's since 1984. That's the only part I've had to replace on this car. Everything else is solid in this car, believe me I think this is definitely their best work yet. This doesn't mean there's not room for improvement to make it better. I already sent my observations and suggestions to Xray on this matter.
