Jonesy, i recommend the SMC 4900mah 1s. PM me if you need one, and the sensor wire would be about a 6" wire. I think i have a spare if you want to try it first.
I found a rare blue ano 12r online, im going to convert to a RR, but obviously i think that rear bar across the pod will be a different length.... Ill maybe shim it with blue shims! Anyone know if its the same length as the R version? Cheers

I'm taking the plunge into the Brushless world and looking at getting the Tekin RS ESC and just wondering about a few things.
1. Whats a good length is for the Sensor Wire. Its for the DB12RR. I'll probably be buying an aftermarket wire harness but there are lots of different lengths.
2. Are there any Lipos that don't fit into the chassis slots for the lipo version DB12RR? Any reccommended Lipos?

2. Using the Fantom 5000mah 40c, no problems. Have put a small piece of lexan on the bottom with servo tape (in the chassis slots), to keep it from moving around. I think you'll have to do that with any battery as the DB12RR battery strap is a bit on the loose side.

Well as you saw in my pic in the other thread I'm running the Tekin. I just find the LRPs too big for my taste and I like the fact that I can just download new software when new ideas come out rather then buying a whole new ESC. And I just can't see myself spending that much on the Advanced right now.
Having the booster built into the ESC like the new LRP would be nice...but as Randy told me at the IIC...it's just one more thing inside the ESC that can go bad and have it sent in for repair.

1. I'm using the TQ brand sensor wire which is very flexible (won't add any tweak to the rear suspension). I have the 170mm wire which gives you a little slack, you may be able to get by with the 150mm depending on your mounting of the ESC.
2. Using the Fantom 5000mah 40c, no problems. Have put a small piece of lexan on the bottom with servo tape (in the chassis slots), to keep it from moving around. I think you'll have to do that with any battery as the DB12RR battery strap is a bit on the loose side.

So started stripping the DB12r Blue, and realised its vastly different from the new RR. So cars went back together this morning. Looks like the blue edition 12r uses Associated alloy blue screws? always hated them, they strip so easily!
Mine is labelled 10 of 20, pretty cool to see it machined into the left bulkhead! very nice work
