TLR 8IGHT E 3.0 THREAD

Viper VTX8
I never use the long front to back battery strap, so I'd never need that loop for the velcro strap anyway.
The VTX provides problem-free operation, has never gotten even close to overheating and is super easy to program with the ProGauge or PC V-Link.
I'm currently programming the VTX8's Smart Brake System completely different than the suggested setup from the factory, which should produce a much more pronounced and smooth 'off trigger' two stage braking profile.
I'll be testing three different profiles this upcoming weekend along with the new VF8 21 motor.

If I can a) get 12 minutes out of the 4500's; b) save six ounces of weight c) change the setup to accommodate the lower weight, it sounds like a great combination.

Yes, I use the Viper VTX8. It fits fine without any modifications, but after running it for a week or so, I decided to dremel off the front loop of the 8ight's battery tray to slide the ESC back a little bit from the front of the chassis.

2.0 bodies fit they just don't hug the chassis tight. You do not need to modify them to run them though. If you want a body that fits snug to the chassis then you would need a 3.0 specific body as meationed more then a few times this car is much more narrow then the 2.0.

Going with a metal spur as mine was wasted yesterday. Should I set the mesh the same way as a nylon spur? Does it need to be lubed?
