Get either the Losi LOSA6530 or Lunsford turnbuckle kits and a new set of SCTE ends.

Here's a lino to the Losi kit:

does anyone run a heatsink or a fan on your motor to help with cooling?

opinions?
and has anyone had a tekin system do this?
I know the SCTE is pretty heavy and its hitting 170 on the motor but its not temp related
That's called a brown out. It's very possible that it's your servo starting to go out. I just had to deal with this with my Eight-E buggy. I was having brownouts from a servo that started to go bad. Hopefully you have another servo that you can use from another vehicle to test it out.

The Jammin hexes look good! When you comin back out to OCRC? Good to see you back in a SCTE. Did you sell the SC10 4x4 or are you keeping them both right now?

Those batteries are fine, some of the best you can get regardless of what the C rating is

Sounds to me, you have the servo binding. when it does that, and pulls too much amps, it will shut the esc off for a few seconds. Check your endpoints.

Some people have issues not running a glitchbuster even with the rx8 with some settups. To check it out before you buy a glitchbuster, just run a jumper from your 2s battery direct to the rx, and disconnect the red wire from the esc to rx plug. You can use an exacto blade to pry up the tiny latch that holds the wire in. If it works fine after you do that, you can then decide to buy a glitchbuster, or run it just like that if you have a RX and servo that can handle high voltage.

The DE's look great but I had to give them up and switch back to the Losi's because they are too flexible for my liking.

Do you keep the ESC/ BEC wires separate or run them together?Please describe wires.
I also just installed my new Savox 1258tg Servo. Do I need to adjust the Castle BEC with the Castle link? How do I change external BEC's out put?
Think the Savox is drawing too much current and glitching the MMP out most likely.So i need more power to the reciever.
Also my ESC wire is about 7mm too short anyone have any idea how to get ESC closer to receiver box?

Sorry lot's of questions...Trying to get to practice tomorrow night but not looking good
i have same set up and its been a pita since day one. you need a glitch buster even then shyt still happens. im now running mmm with no ish. finally.

Default Jammin hexes

Anyone using the Jammin wheel hexes how do they attach? Do they fit the wheels tight? Thinking of picking up a set. Seems like a cheap way to drop a little weight.
