I will have the SE cars complete mid may. I have completed most of the cars, I still need to make the standoffs and servo mounts before they get sent off for plating. Getting close.

How do you get the motor in without taking some of the chassis apart?

And looking at the pics on BMI website some of the pics looks like it would hit the batteries....

Here is a pic of my GTB setup, as you can see I have the capacitor just behind the spektrum micro. This is a tight fit for the batts but it also keeps everything as low as possible and as balanced as possible.

What size brushless motors are you guys running in the DB12. don't want to overpower the car never run 12th scale before. Also is the SE car the 10 or the 12. If its the 1/10 how wide is it for the PRO 10 class.

Na, Im taking a break from racing for a bit. I have been getting the bug to beef up my vette and take it out to the dragstrip. I needed a little time off from the RC racing. I will be back at it again shortly.
