And those markes on the motor that from when we used to have to solder diodes on the motor can.

So, Losi is testing a BL ESC and motor? Let me guess, it's a GM or Quark ESC and a SpeedPassion motor with Losi stickers on it? :-) Am I right? Am I right? It's gotta be OEM something.
And screw 5 cell, right to hell with you 5 cell. 5 cell must die. DIE!

For 5 cell, I don't have enough middle fingers. :-)
As for the BL stuff, it's easy. There's basically Novak, LRP, and SpeedPassion (motors). SP does OEM for basically everybody. There's a few other companies like Lehner and Hacker, but they're not really used in the cars that much that I've seen, outside of bashers and gas->electric conversions.
For BL ESC's, it's Novak, LRP, GM and Quark for sensored. Sensorless is Tekin, Castle, and uh... I think that's it. The GM and Quark ESC seem to allow you the option of using it with or without the Hall sensors, while the LRP and Novak do not. That makes them a true "system" since they should be compatible with nearly all motors. There's a few other more obscure brands, I think they're maybe used in boats, or nowhere.
Thus concludes brushless 101. Those of you still using brushed motors have to come in after school for detention.

I don't care if LiPo ever gets approved for big races, but I don't wanna give it up in the clubs.

Well, broke the last of my front arms tonite... 
I saw in this forum that some of you guys are running short arms. Since I am not very familar with losi cars (my first one)...can you guys give me the part# for the short arm, so I can order it. Thx.
BTW, what gear ratio or roll out would you recommend for a Novak 6.5T with rubber tires.

anyone can help me? I have a diff problem with this type R. all of the pulley which is have a ball bearing are melted, although I have tighten the front diff and a bit loose at the back. I am using GTB with 4.5R with 9.56 final ratio. I build the diff as per manual, is there anything wrong with my setup or something wrong with the diff?

The R had its first run last night. Wow, this thing is good. I made maybe 3 or 4 setup changes to the Kit and got within 4 seconds of the Track Record.
