Once you change the gearing, there's only a moderate increase in torque combined with smoothing the motor out a good deal. Makes the motor feel a lot like the Castle 1415 2400kv motor actually.

I ordered my DE Racing wheels on Friday afternoon and they were in my mailbox on Monday I live in Texas. Regular shipping!! Couldn't ask for faster service!! I noticed they have rear chassis plates. Anyone use them? Good? Waste of money?

New Losi truck will be at my house when I get home from work today! Cant wait! Gonna put in some electronics today and race it tomorrow. Ordered the new pins from Chris so when they come in I will pull the truck back down and put in all the correct diff oils then. I will have the only Losi truck at our track in a sea of Hypers and Slashes!

My 3s 5000 packs just arrived at the office. Time to see what that little 3800KV can do on 3 cell.

Why not put SC10 gear diff pins in the diffs like alot of racers are doing??
Their just slightly shorter but work great according to everyone running
them... (and they are rock hard with no failures)

battery mah-C ratting for this truck?
Just wondering if I will be able to make a 6 min main with about a minute of warmup with these batteries listed. Turnigy 5200 30c, gens ace 5300 30c, and a gens ace 5000 40c. Im running a sp v10 550 4.5 motor, with a sp gt 2.0 esc. Thanks guys 
More so wondering if these will work fine in the truck as well as have enough mah
And Would they have enough "C" ratting for this truck and my motor combo ?
Thanks guys

The castle 2650 with the SCTE is not really pushing the truck too much at 2s( I run a 50 5000mah 2s lipo) and was not too happy with the performance. 3s Gens Ace 40c 5000mah battery is the best lipo I have ever ran on this setup. I am super impressed with my Gen's Ace lipo. Sorry I have to give prop where they are do. Truck ran 10 mins with temp below 110 all the way around. Highest temp I have ever sen is 140 on the motor and 127 on the ESC. After running for about 40 mins.I run a 20 tooth novak pinion btw.
