Not josh, but my opinion is the 4000kv is perfect. It's torquier than the 1410, but also more battery mah thirsty. Also, 5mm shaft, so no collar thingy. I love that tenshock motor, i think it's the ideal motor for this truck, honestly. I can absolutely pull and/or keep up with tekin 4.5's on the straight on occasion. It's about 50/50, neck and neck.
the best way is to go the bce site and drop him an email. thats the fastest way he replies

yeah i was reading your comments as well. guess ill start with a 13 pinion and a 5k lipo, but if its that mah hungry ill try the smc 6k 60c and see what it does with that one. collar thingy? you mean a spacer to use a 5mm pinion with a 3mm shaft? never used those before as my hobby shop has a lot of 3mm ofna pinions but yes 5mm is ideal since i can borrow those from my truggy

Anyone know where all those 5-40 locknuts on this car can be ordered in aluminum? I can find tons in 4-40 but 5-40 looks to be pretty rare.

Why do I see in most pics of sway bar set screws that you guys run yours with left to right play? I was told some good info from the "tune with camber link" thread that sway bars should be tight with zero side to side play. I have searched manuals from other manufs. and cannot find any info on what the truth is..unless it's personal preference?

You will have SOME side to side movement in the sway bar. Due to the design of 90% of the 1/8 scales out there (yes I know the scte is 1/10 but it is identical to the 1/8 platform) you can only limit the amount of play for and aft in the sway bar slot via the set screws. If you use the set screws to hold the sway bar tight, then the suspension will be bound up and not work properly. The sway bar has to be free moving to do its job properly, even if there is some side to side movement.
