With the standard(cheapest option) I received mine in 15 days, but the website says 7-21days I believe.
I made another order and this time I Just bit the bullet this time and did 3 day ups. For 4 batteries it was $43 dollars shipping. So that puts the cost of each of my batteries at around roughly $51 a pop while still getting them fast.
Honestly I did the cheap way first, cause the spring outdoor season hasn't really started up in in Pacific NW, so I had time.

To drag brake and see how it goes.
On a separate note, do you think the Losi diff grease adds for friction to the drivetrain and when switching over to oil in the diffs would reduce friction making it more efficient and inturn make the motor not work as hard? Just wondering.
Thanks,
Greg
I did a test. 7 in each diff ran the truck in 75 deg weather no wind three packs 6000 60 c current limit 80 no push control no drag break no timing set at min throttle profile 3 14 tooth pin 4600 pro 4 rx8 and it came off the track three different times at 180 motor and 97 speed control. went home changed to grease in all three, next day same thing three packs and the motor was 147 speed control was 84 so the grease was about 30 deg less . motor has so much magnet drag when you go down the straight and let off it almost goes sideways turning. just thought I would put this out there for your information. also promatch batteries has 6000's for sale is local and under 90.00 get it in three days go racing.

BCI chassis experience....I got mine in 5 days after ordering, both emails were returned same day, had tracking number, all holes lined up, no short screws included for motor/center diff mount, fit-feel-finish very nice. I'm on the second race week since the full rebuild and the truck has never run better. I don't really notice much difference in handling and the truck jumps great w/o nose dives. It would be really easy to drill 3 new holes to move your battery back if you really wanted to. Overall, I am very pleased with my choice to go with the BCE but I'm sure all the aftermarket chassis are really nice.....
ps- I race on a tight technical indoor track.

Well I took her out on the madden voyage tonight at the local track. Shes running pretty hot so I didn't race it tonight. After about 6 minutes of running the 4600 was at 210F and the RX8 was at 90F. This was with 40/15 gearing. I dropped down a tooth on the pinion to 40/14 and I was still having the same temp issues with the 4600. I run on a big and fast track (see video that a fellow racer took below).

So, my question is what gearing are you guys running and what temps? Preferably those who are running the same motor/esc setup.
Thanks,
Greg

What esc setup are you using?
try the 14 then if temps are up go to 13

Wow you run it at 40%? That seems pretty low, but I bet you get some killer run-time out of that sucker! ;-) I figured like all things electric, the less voltage they get the poorer they perform...so it was a shot in the dark. Glad to hear the current limiter doesn't make that happen though just in case I need to lower my setting eventually.
this gearing temp thing is you guys are having is wierd
I run 14T pro4 4600 rx8
no current limit
10 drag brake
and at three different tracks, LSR, Outback, Holeshot
and I use 500mah a minute
133 degrees motor every time after 6 mins

That's an awesome track. Where is it?
Best race facility, and crew in the North East iMO... CRC Raceway in Rome, NY. Come to the pro-series this year, it's always a awesome weekend... that or the GLORC's event. There was talks of a larger short course event this year as well.. but not sure if anything solidified or not.
Great LHS too.. they just started selling the xerun 540 4 poles here, I'll be getting one of these next if I don't like the or mess up my tekin 4600.

Wow!!!
Yeah that track does look awesome!!! Rome NY how far is that from Pittsburgh PA??? I'm gonna run the RC Pro Northeast Series @ McCollough's this year
On a really great not been just about 6 days of my Viper Copperhead loaded into my SCTE and 2 Dirt runs threw it and it might have been the smoothest ride Ive had in along time!!!
Thanks to all the guys that lest messages about what I could shave off!!! Actually found out the 2.0/810 Side protectors work on the SCTE and dont have to cut off the Nerf bars plus they are stronger in case of a impact on the side! Cut the weight way down also!!!
