Most guys will buy new just to have the best. When you can get a 1S battery, ESC and motor for $110 that is competitive I'd save my pennies for that setup.
What brand and model are u quoting at $110 for battery, esc and motor?

Gen 2 ESC isn't on the BRCA list because Hobbyking won't apply to the BRCA to get any of their products approved.
...but they're ROAR approved

I have two Gen 2's and they're miles better than my old hobbywing V2.1 1S

Good to know thanks! Makes sense that it's and oval item... different camber on either side.

I've gotta ask what K.I.S.S. stands for?

Yeah I figured that out as I started waking up on my way to the woods... it was early.

We wouldn't be here without you guys, so thank you!

If we can improve something, or you need anything, let us know.

Kindest regards,

Stock spurs work fine as long as you set the mesh for the tightest spot - mine is still fine after 18 months

See if you can get some of the Kamtech Lexan rear wings to order extras as needed. I see them offered on their website, but it's cheaper to just buy a new body with the wing with those shipping rates. The wings can be pretty brittle.

How frustrating that hobbyking will not submit for BRCA! I put my first Gen 2 in a WGT to try it. It was incredible. I recommend them.

The core-rc spurs are machined Rw spurs and make a difference to meshing.
Contact Keith and Mandy direct at Kamtec, tell them Mark Christopher told u too and they will sort you out.

Hi, would you please tell where to buy a fitting E30 M3 Body for SupaStox?
Or perhaps, where to get more GT Bodies fitting this Chassis?
