BE careful on with Hobbypartz, check the "whats going on with hobbypartz" thread , After 2 weeks of trying to get my refund to these exact batteries being out of stock, I had to have paypal reverse the transaction. Paypal had no luck of contacting the seller, and my repeated once a day emails and phone calls got nothing.
NO communication and these were noted as in stock when I ordered.

you can't call them, and they're very slow to email. I think they basically say, we're cheap so we don't need to have any service.... I'd rather pay a couple bucks more and have at least a little service.

Salad... What do you think of those Nanotech batteries? Do you see any advantage over the regular Turnigy's? I picked up the 6000 25-50 version. I figured at 5 bucks more a battery it was worth a shot. The downside is I think there being paddled over here in a canoe. Hopefully i'll have them next week.
i managed to get them into my slash 4x4 and they will fit the losi with all the stops removed but they are NOTm regular sized more of an airplane batt i think.
also they could chill with the wire. its like 8 gauge... wayyyyy tooo much wire it really hard to solder its so big and comes with bullets
dim
47mm w
21mm hi
153mm long
again they will fit most but not all
deffy not in a sc104x4 thats for sure i measured those numbers from my packs

I know some were having trouble. Just to lend a different perspective. The same time everyone was complaining, I ordered two of the 40C ones (I didn't know the 50C's existed) anyway, I got order confirmation immediately, shipping confirmation later that same day and got the batteries I think three days later. I have never had a problem with them.

I didn't see it on page #1 and didn't catch it in the thread..
Stock shock oil weight?
Stock shock pistons?
Stock angles on front and rear pivot mounts? 3'?
Did Truhe post his recent setup sheet?
I just got mine today (surprise) and it's great looking.. swapped in those pins the guy is making on here, kept the center and rear grease, swapped the rear to 3k fluid. I've been told to run some w/ the grease first, I guess many are liking it more than the oils.. Anyway here she is, granted I didn't leave it whole for more than 10minutes
The only bad thing is I know tomorrow when I run it my rear hubs are going to pull off the rear a-arms the moron who is pulling them from the mold is taking off WAY too much material. If they were to spec, they might be pretty good. Darn.. Guess I'll hitup losi when I call for the 'upgraded' replacement pins.
Sorry no weight yet, she is lighter.. also is a shot of the ten-t front carbon tower from integy.. actually looks prety nice, more options to mount as well.
First shots are the new and improved battery/esc tray.. cut a nice chunk off, lowered it 1/8" to the chassis as well. (had to tim nubs on the center plate and 2nd hole on whats left of the mud guard (just the excess). Went ahead and just cut off the mud flaps and sides of the rear bumper as well.

Also I dont understand why people having bumper problems. What the heck are you guys doing?? long darting the tripple? This truck seems tough to me.

I don't remember the stock kick up but if you get adjustable mounts all 0's is stock.
Rear is 3 deg of toe and 2 deg antisquat. Again all 0's for adjustable mounts is stock.
Stock pistons a #4? With those pistons what equiv oil to get the same feel as the #3/30wt do you think would be needed?
Also your rear link is on the b? The link doesn't appear to have enough threads to hold that position w/o issues.. did you replace that link w/ a longer one?
Do you guys have any limiters in your rear shocks?
Thanks!

There should be plenty of thread to hold in all positions.
The grease is not for lubrication (it does that too) but it is in there to slow down the gears so you need to pack it in and not just coat the gears.

Alright, problem solved, the gears just needed to be broken in. I ran it in a drill for 20 sec. each direction, smoothed right out. I was missing one of the 3mm shims between the spider gear and the square craddle the pin sits in. I just used a motor shim as a replacment.
