Anyone using the Diggity Wide lipo mounting brace (not the offset one) with ppd 3oz base and 2oz side weight? I am using the smc 5200 40c lipo and wanting to get my car balanced properly once my tekin rs pro arrives this week.
Will be using four scales to balance car out once esc arrives.

I did find the larger of the Diggity braces to actually be wider/longer than what he specifies. Ill give you the actual measurements later today of both non-offset braces. I have also found the SMC batteries size measurements to be off as well, as the case is not perfectly rectangular. (The middle seam is puffed out on all SMC packs that I have seen with Deans connectors)

This is the first time I have run a small KV motor. These numbers seem odd to me, but I go with experts here.
So need to order some Pinions and Spurs here.
What would be a set to get?
I am thinking a 78T spur, a 75T spur, and some monster large pinions, like 30T, 32T, 35T?
All my pinions are 12-18 tooth range.
What gearing would I use to run a 13.5 motor in the 17.5 class?
That would be go for me to start slower.
What final drive ratio should I look for to keep my motor cool?
Associated said 4.42 and you say 5.2, so I guess somewhere in between these numbers will be ok?
I called Associated and they said run 73/33, or 73/34. The funny thing is I can't find a 73T Spur in there catalog, I only see a 72T and a 75T.
Thanks for the advice.

Here is his ebay auction. It has ended, but I talk to him through there. He seems busy though. He got back to me a few times, but it has been a week or more now with no response.

Since I changed ESC and new motor arriving today I will have to check again...

Just got a hold of a couple of spools off eBay, one slipper and one fixed. Was wandering if people use 'blades' or anything on the outdrives? If so do AE do any or do other brands fit?

What I found at are track with the Exotek chassis is I had more traction. I ran 2.5 degrees of rear toe in per side and yesturday I easily was able to 1.5 degrees of teo a side with zero side effect. It was just as hooked up as before but I took a tenth a lap off my time using worn out tires as it was the 3rd week on them. I'm actually very impressed with the chassis overall and if I didn't get a ride I would not of sold the car as the Exotech chassis really was a nice improvement. Steering was very smooth and neutral at are track and weight balance on my car was excellent. On the tweak station I was less than a 1/4 on any one shock differance and thats it.
The fit and finish are excellent on the chassis and I would buy from Exotech again if for whatever reason if I bought another TC5 or even his new Schumahcer MI3 chassis. Very nice stuff.
