Thanks!!
The original plug for the Warrior II is roughed in now, but I haven’t touched it in over a year. The new 325GT is about 1 ½ years in the making and the original Warrior you have took me almost 2 years to make available.
It takes time for me to make original bodies, it’s a lot of work, and you have to figure a lot of different things out.
Anybody can just make a replica of an existing car; no brains or talent needed there, lol. But designing & making a GT car body, that will actually work, takes a lot of patience and it’s probably why I don’t have any patience left when dealing with any dumb Warrior body “haters” on the internet, lol
Soon fellas..... real soon!

Thanks Cris, hitting 102mph was one of my most intense moments in rc so far! I'm planning on working my way up to higher speeds in the near future...
I'm shocked your running 300,000wt front and rear, no wonder you snapped those rear drive shafts lol.

Is anyone considering the Toro Ex 1/5 scale 200amp/1000amp burst 8s esc? I don't trust toro at this point but people are using it. Supposedly it has a little more current flow than the XL2. I'm skeptical about this one. My Gt-V2e rtr came with a toro but I pulled it after 5 min lol. What would be a good motor that can handle 8s for speed runs and still fit in the Gt-V2e without flipping the motor mount?

The Warrior body is the way to go for Speed Runs.

you will need the 8s just to haul the Kilo of lipos you'll be hauling
8s 6000mah is equivalent to having 4s 12000mah battery when your talking about run time
3000mah on 8s would be more then you'd ever need

Man i just do not have the time, my kids are at that age where they are into everything and i have to juggle racing R+D and mfg in between!
I do not think Nitro will be as fast, not enough TQ, although i guess you coudl always make a 3 or 4spd transmission!! now that would be cool!
Its good but there are many ways to skin a cat!! Definitely not the only option
