hey CT
here are some pics of my new titan body, I included a close up of the rear air vent mod i did (not really a mod just left some material in place) hopefully it will add the needed strength to keep the center post from breaking this time,

Last weekend my Tekno was running great, then during practice right before the races it started glitching bad. I started with the simplest stuff first, checked the wire connections, changed the sensor wire, no good. Tried to recalibrate the esc and now it wouldn't arm. Tried a rx out of another truck, no good. Now I was getting desperate, had about 20 mins before the first heats started. I changed out the motor, nope. I changed out the esc from another truck, no good, still won't arm. Finally I power cycled the system (turned everything off/on) and it finally armed. Everything was just hanging loose, so I had to install the esc, and finish up the wiring, I barely made it. Still couldn't figure out what caused the problem. So today I was looking at the original motor and noticed something didn't look right, there was a gap where there should not be one. The rear part of the motor can seems to be glued to the main housing and it had come loose. I assume this caused the sensors to get out of alignment and caused the glitching. The rear plate screws into the rear end bell cover, which is glued to the main housing. Has anybody ever seen anything like this? I have several Pro4 motors I have been using for years and I never had this happen.

Arrow is pointing to the gap in the motor can.

I could pull the rear end bell away from the main housing, only the windings were holding it on.

Mine did that once. Was due to having the wires too short and the flex put too much stress on the tabs. I did the posts facing the motor with the cross wire setup. But have since switched to the "up and over" setup using deans wet noodle wires to give it plenty of flex.

Yep, best way to wire a RX8 in this truck. The wire doesn't have to push into the slot, fill the slot with solder and solder the wire sitting on top of the post. Gives the wire a nice easy arc to the motor tabs. Never had an issue with it that way.

just bought a hobbywing sctpro and lcd program box when i first set it up i was able to connect to the esc and proram it with no issues but after one run i decided it felt pretty weak compared to my rx8 with same exact pro4 4600 kv motor so i hooked up the program box and it says connecting to esc but it just freezes there and wont connect, anybody running the hobbywing stuff have any help this is my first one of these I may be doing something wrong?

I always try and route the wires so they don't put any stress on the tabs. I don't think the wires had anything to do with the end bell coming off, just a freak occurrence I guess.

This is how I had it wired.

Hi guys I have heard really good things about this Kit but I'm wondering if it will be good for bashing or just racing. I'm trying to get a good short course truck for bashing also is there good parts support? I know a lot of you have this kit so I'm wondering if anyone could answer my question. And what motor and esc combo are you using that will make it very fast. Thanks
