Nice!! Is there much weight balance change, side to side with 3-gear to 4-gear?

You might want to also check out Avid bearings. I run them in all my cars ..I like how they are metal shielded on one side and this lets them spin more free than most bearings. Another Neat thing is you just select you car and they build the kit for you and you can select any bearing style you want like if you want to upgrade the gearbox bearings to ceramic you can.
I have had three sets in the front axles that spin free and one set real notchy from git go. When I rebuilt the front on the notchy car I threw away all the old stuff but the bearings and tried the JC front axle and it was notchy. I tossed the bearings and put in new ones and they spun free. So I couldn't tell if it was the bearings from the start or something with the plastics. It is a little hit and miss on front builds.

I did not have time to put it on the scales, but it does not appear to be offset any more/less than the 4 gear, I probably should have the receiver on the other side, but the wires were already in place

I would assume three gear is a little lighter then four gear?

I have run all configurations, and overall, this is best, depends on the track really, some days its not an issue, some days we can run slicks, and sometimes we can't.

I run on a med bite, outdoor track now. Rear traction is still ok, but I am thinking about moving the battery back and putting the ESC on top of the battery for some testing. Maybe in front of the battery as well.
I do not want to go back to the sideways mount on the battery.

I was wondering the same thing. Got all the 3 gear parts in today except the motor plate, that's on preorder from Tower. Haven't seen any in stock anywhere.

did you check exotek?
The exotec was released 36 hours ago from what I understand.my question is how do people all ready have a motor plate with shipping there no way.and besides the motor plate in the pic I've seen of friends that already have it together its not the exotec plate. I was just wondering if people have been moding the regular ones.and if so how.
