Anyone heard any news on the orders from P1 Hobbies? I saw the video interview they had from one of the trade shows and I believe they were one of the first to open pre-orders.

Thanks, it's difficult to be patient when everybody else is building their kits! LOL

BTW (I know this is repetitive) Who is RPP Hobby's distributor and have they gotten their kits? If you know.
Our oils are in CST not wt. They roughly equate to Losi 35wt (#450, front) and 30wt (#350, rear).

We spoke with RPP today and their distributor has the kits in stock today so it shouldn't be long.

FYI - In Stock at NorCal Hobbies.

I saw a picture with them having several in stock as they arrived around noon.
If you're in the California bay area and didn't make it on a pre-order list, give 'em a call.

www.NorCalHobbies.com

Note: I'm not sponsored, they're just my local shop/track, so I follow their status.

This is what is written about the EB48.
Designed to be electric from the ground up – no nitro conversions here!
I would imagine them to take a similar road to a SC truck (if that's what they choose to put out next), in lieu of a conversion.

I just called Tower about my backorder (LHS didn't initially know they'd be part of the first batch of pre-orders). Tower has them and are working through their backorder process currently. From the customer service rep, it sounds like they'll get shipped out tomorrow.

What size pinion are you running for a 1900KV motor? 15 or 16?

I think you'd be way undergeared even at 16T. I'm shooting for 18T.

If you go back and look Austin Blair is running a 2400kv motor on 4s with a 15T.
