Thx Everyone I will give it a go, now I just need my LHS to get the thing in stock.

Coming soon...R/C Evil Empire's interview with Tanner Denny...be on the lookout

Can anyone tell me what would be a cheap decent brushless motor/esc combo to start out with? I was thinking of buying the RTR but I would rather build it myself and choose my own electronics. Was thinking castle creations, but idk what kV to get. Thanks all!

Hard to go past a Hobbywing 60 amp ecu non sensored and whatever motor of youre choice depending on youre ability..maybe a 13t ..very reliable and super cheap.:nod:

would think the slop would be eliminated when the slipper is set?

What type of slop? In and out? Or up and down? And just making sure, but do u have the spacer in it? I know I've accidentaly forgotten to put it in in the past and left me scratching my head.

What are you using to balance your rear tires?

use the search function.....

yup thats what happened,

cuz i was building a kyosho at the same time and got all messed up:lol::lol: took it apart today and fixed it:lol::lol: but the car ran better with the slop:ha::ha::cry:

Glad u got it fixed! Sucks it doesn't run as good now tho! Lol.

Just got my first 2wd buggy this weekend....the b4.1! Got it all built and just need to mount my electronics. Any suggestion on gearing for a havoc pro/ballistic 10.5? Running indoor with a 85ish foot straight.

Congrats on the buggy! Whatta way to start off in the 2WD buggy class...with the best.

For the ESC, I'd opt for the Tekin RS or Novak Kinetic.

For the motor, I'd go with either a Tekin RS, Novak Ballistic or LRP X12.

Just my opinions...

I have the Tekin RS and Novak Ballistic. The reason I chose the Ballistic is because you can swap out the stators if you plan on running in different classes (10.5, 13.5, 17.5).

What spur are you running? If ur using the 81t, start with at 21t opinion and go up or down from here. I ended on a 24 for about a 100-110ft straight.
