Better yet, get rid of the bullet connectors and solder the wires directly to the motor. Bullet connectors are just asking for problems on an e-scale. They are high resistance, vibration suseptable weak links in your electronics. I don't even like lipos with plug in bullet connectors for e-scale. Its just begging for a failure or intermittent operation. Stick with direct soldering everything you can, and use Deans or Traxxas connectors for your batteries. Lessons learned the hard way by the pioneers of the class, when the electronics and batteries weren't so good, and any weak links lead to bigger problems. :)

It's $10 less than the nitro version. Throw in the discount codes and I don't see why anyone would complain.

They can fail and I've seen em hot many times. They aren't rated for the amperage 1/8 buggies and especially truggies can draw. I personally use EC5's without any issues for almost 2 yrs in my scales. They will never come apart on their own, hell they're tough to pull apart and they're rated plenty high. Most Deans failures I've seen are them coming unplugged during a race.

This buggy looks sweet! I can't believe they are going to beat team Durango to market!

It makes you laugh when you think about how much of Durango's sales will be taken by this buggy. I think TD made a bad decision releasing info of the Dex408 so early, I think that sparked Serpent's interest in releasing the 811- be. We all have been waiting for a quality version of this layout and Serpent is ahead of the game.:sneaky::ha:
