Those are all nice esc's. And i have v2.1 esc that I plan to try in my B5RM. But the esc has a 4 bank of 330uf caps, and it might be hard for me to get that in the chassis. If it becomes an issues, I will just use my viper. Might use my viper anyway, because it is a very nice esc. But the viper is in my reference stock buggy, I and I prefer to not remove it. I plan to run both cars in stock and sell the loser of the shoot out
Wildcat doesn't the HW 3.1 come with the 2 caps similar to the Orion, that you can use?

I told you guys earlier I'd post some photos but now that the Orion is specifically asked for here you go. I think this weekend I'm going to break it down some and run the sensor wire under the battery, and break off the plastic case from the caps and just shrink wrap them for a little more room and 1/2 a gram less.

Bill Pear, what changes have you made specifically to run @ OCRC. It is a very similar track to mine. I am just curious as I cant stand a car that pushes.

Which brings me to my new discovery (to me anyway). AE is being strategic with their parts packaging. You can only replace that rear shock tower mount by purchasing an entire rear tower replacement, which is like $6 to $7 instead of $2 for that piece. Also, I didn't learn about using an oversized washer behind the rear hub ballstud until after I had discovered one of my rear hub link plastic inserts had imploded (busy evening practice with 8-scale and some crazy drivers, took a few collisions). Guess what? Should be like a $2 replacement pack of 4 (each side & hub type). No. Can only aquire the piece with a complete rear hub replacement, which is like $8 to $9. Lesson learned. Thankfully I found the HARD rear hubs in stock.

Sorry I meant to say that the B5 towers must be matched with straight arms and B5m towers with gull wings... bad english on my part

It would be nice if someone made a thin square pack. 4000-4500mah, but the large footprint. The corners with the posts could stick up higher than the rest of the pack to keep post resistance down, or change up to shorter 5mm posts. Keep the weight low and keep the battery from shifting. I was having a lot of issues last night with the foam U coming up and my shorty shifting in the compartment.
I was also thinking it would be nice to have a U shaped ballast to help get me up to weight without adding a bunch of loose weights or messing up the weight balance.

The fact that there is a specific tower for a specific arm is all that needs to match. The wider top tower goes with the gullwing arm and the narrower top with the straight arm. And they are interchangeable on both mid and rear motor buggies.
