I agree this kit builds great. One thing that I see on my finished kit that I am not comfortable with is; with the wheels off the axles have too much play which allows the cvd pin become exposed. I noticed both of my rears had worked half way out just during the build process. Once you put the wheels on , this pulls the axle back into the bearing which covers the pin hole , so all is fine. i am just worried about losing a pin during wheels off maintence.

You could probably get away with a 1/10th scale esc if you were going to run a 540 motor, but that motor will probably only work for indoor setups. With a good outdoor setup most people are running 550 motors, which dont seem to get along to well with the smaller 1/10th scale escs.

Gonna have to disagree with you there snapplane, I've been running my Jammin with a 5.5 550 and a Novak GTB with no problems at all. I do gear on the conservative side but the motor still has plenty of power. Now I can't say what problems other people have had with 1/10 esc's but so far no problems here.

Didnt Maifield end up switching to a 550 at the Cactus Classic because his 540 burnt up, that and both of Chris Jaroz's setups on AE run a 550. Not saying that the 540s wont work, but I think for the average Joe the 550 is a safer bet.

Im not saying they wont work, but I do think you will have to be a little more careful with your gearing.
