Default Measuring front droop

Hey Guys, I was looking at set up sheets for asphalt and am wondering where the front droop is measured from? Is it under the outer hinge pin or under the nub/setscrew for outer hinge pin? Thanks in Advance!

If I want to run a brushless motor with a stock Cyclone S, do I need to get the optional motor mount?

If you run Mod you may want the brushless motor mount, I run a 114 spur and I think there is room for 120 with the BL mount.

Depends on brushless motor and cells.
6 cell, 3.5 and 4.5 you probably need it
5 cell you dont.

But i suspect you are not going to run a big motor like that. If you are you will want to upgrade some parts on your car.

received my precision order today so I will install the alum hubs tonight and check toe in and report back to you guys and then I will be checking out my other planB this Saturday and let everyone know if the toe is correct. I'd rather go with plan B because it's cheaper and everyone can do it.

Stay tuned...................

thanks for all of the replies

mangoman - are you saying that the stock kit isn't durable enough for the faster motors, or that I would need to change the gearing (spur, etc.)...or both?
