Looks nice and neat but you have a LOT of wire on there. You can't move the speedy back a bit and shorten those wires? Also resolder the angle they leave the speedy so they go straight to the motor rather than curl around. All that is heaps of weight up high. Nice with all the black wire only though.
I'll post a pic when I finish with mine as its the same speedy.

I wish I could make that one red piece of wire into black as well but it comes presoldering to the battery (CORE 5000 packs). =(
I am in the middle of a move to San Diego, CA so I will do more work on the wiring when I get settled down there.
Look forward to seeing more pics.

Ok.. I get the long wires then. I just desolder the wires as it dosen't take long with a decent iron. Anyway as far as performance goes weight up high is never a good thing. I just finished going through my 1st rebuild and have taken everything out and done some more modding. I can't believe how many things need a little work on this chassis out of the box but if it goes well who cares. And to top it off I just got my second chassis (for spares) and it only has one diff spring! Why is it I have yet to get one complete kit out of the two NIB kits I have got! Factory wrapped!
Going to rewire my chassis tomorrow and I'll post a pic. But that will be l8t tomorrow for you guys.

In Windows XP(and vista for that matter) you can hit the printscreen button and then open word and click on edit then paste in a new document.
Or buy a program called "snagit" by techsmith which is a sweet screen cap utility that i love.
PDF's you can use this with office 2007 to make pdf's by simply printing them from any office 2007 app: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
and you can use this with any application in windows, it sets up a pdf printer and you use file print to create pdf's: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/
hope that helps (and you reply to my pm's )

Here's how I did the wiring for my GT1.1 and motor. I still have to in the telemetry when I get a chance but that will be similar fashion being all black wiring. I kept the speedy a little backwards to keep the 3 motor wires short as it is weight up high. This also keeps some of the higher bulk weight near the middle for quicker response to brake and throttle input. The power wires a designed to plug to lipos with terminals either way around. Transponder is right up the front. receiver is central mainly to keep telemetry cables within reach of motor and spur. I still have to add weight again (roughly 100g's) but it will be orientated towards a 55/45 f/r weight balance which is why I have the oldskool full size (and faster) servo.
BTW. You might be able to see from above but I added 2x0.1mm shims between the layshaft spacers and the layshaft drive pins to widen the pulleys by 0.2mm on both sides. So far this quick fix has eliminated the pulley problem without any narrowing but the better solution should be the alloy layshafts when they are perfected.
Can someone just confirm for me... The spool pulley 41/42t has the ridge on the 42t still? I ask this as I ordered 2x42t spool pulleys with my kit for rubber but neither have the ridge even though the diff pulley on the rear does. Am I running overdrive?

The 42t reguardless if it is a standard diff pulley or spool pulley has the ridge. If you bought two 42T spool pulleys with no ridge, you have mispackaged 41T pulleys. The 41T has no ridge at all as a regular diff pulley and spool pulley.
