I run my 4.5 on a very big 1/8 track with 40MHz KO Helios. I don't experience any glitches so far...
*Fingers crossed*

anyway, I have my spektrum on the way... and that makes me wonder if I will need to do the radio setup everytime I change from the FM module to the spektrum.... even using the same radio (M11)... anyone? It would be really a hassle to "reset to defaults" and then need to reprogram all parameters....
cheers,

Hi Guys,
40 mhz systems typically have significantly lower signal strength. I've seen some customers/racers have issues with 40mhz and the GTB, while I've also seen many who have not had problems. This has to do with the lower power of 40 mhz, and how the install effects it. This is a 40mhz problem, not FM, not AM, not any particular brands, simply function of 40 mhz signal strength.
Spektrum has it's own set of issues you might want to be prepared for. They don't like low voltage. So in Some TC, and even higher traction offroad, when you "get on" the throttle somewhat hard, the main voltage "drops" below what the BEC is. This causes the spektrum to stutter, or hesitate, basically it momentarily shuts off and on very quickly.
Spektrum actually offers a "receiver capacitor" for this problem. As does novak, we call it the "Glitch Buster".
You guys can always email us directly for factory direct answers
Thanks

Interesting note: when using Orion Lipo 4800, never had this problem.

I have the 4.5 motor and wants to upgrade to sintered motor. Can anybody give me the part number? Thanks.

Can't wait to see how many Mah are left in the packs after an 8 minute race... I was discharging my 4200's and still had like 2200 mah left running a Monster stock...

As for the mAh, you'll love how little mAh the brushless motors use. Repeaking your first pack for the 3rd race is very fast.

I had to take the fan off because the body wouldn't fit on with the fan on....

Anyone had the heatsink off and ran it?

I just got my 4.5r system from precisionrc 
ordered it Monday and got it Wednesday, 3 days from HK to Australia the wires are just so damn long! 
Looks like I will be doing some cutting and soldering.

Thanks in advance

hi, since there are 6 motor mounting screws, and 4 are not used, would it be ok to seal them up with sealant so dirt not get in? or those extra holes are essential for cooling?
