It took about 2-3 days for it to get here. I ordered it on a Saturday and by Tuesday it was here. And to be honest, it doesn't work with the Tekno V4. The motor mount plate on it is the wrong way around. The mounting screws for the motor would be on the wrong side for the sinkholes and the bearing would be too. I didn't even install it before I figured this out. So if you have it save your $70. I just sold mine to a friend with a D8 that wanted to switch over to electric. There's a few post way back that says it won't work with it that BigBen put up. I didn't read it prior to ordering. Just thankfully I wasn't out the $70.

Yeah I took a $5 loss on it but that was the shipping. No big deal really. Yeah they have really fast shipping considering they ship with USPS. Might be a little different for you. I didn't expect it to get here that fast either. Especially since it came from Cali to Indiana.

The track I'm going to be racing at has a few bigger jumps and turns in it so I'll need a a little more acceleration vs top speed. The straight away is about 60-70ish feet so I'll hit top end on it with no worries right before nailing the breaks for the 1st turn.

Nice! I Was wondering about the whole bell system. I know how it all works, but is there a certain brand you have to buy? Or make? I was thinking about switching over but not knowing this has stopped me.

Tekno chassis lightens it up nicely!!!!!! I don't do much aluminum other than braces, shock towers, chassis and servo horn. Everything else I'm going to go with is all nylon or CF. Pretty much everything that comes stock aluminum I leave it that way.

The track I race at in the picture is a nice track. Dirt and clay mixture. I love it! I wish I would have been into RC's while I was stationed in San Diego. I know there's a lot of tracks around SoCal and in NorCal too. I was a little bit but not like I am now. Mainly just a beach basher and not a racer.

I'm JEALOUS!!!!!!!!!!! I wish we had a indoor track still here. There were two but one the owner just shut it down(not sure why) and the other one was a a fair grounds and the owner of the fair grounds decided that it would be better for the community to use the space to store RV's and boats over the winter time.

I used to run my slash 4x4 at a little local bash spot with some small dirt jumps. Then i noticed how lucky i am to have all there sweet indoor clay tracks around then decied to kick it up a notch and get into 1/8th scale racing with the vorza! Then about a couple months ago picked up Losi scte for the 1/10th scale indoor clay track like 15-20 away from my house. But dam i am spoiled LOL!
