Hey Jaybee...what servo are you using and did you have to drill a new servo mount hole to flip it to that side?

Just put pin hole on top, don't cut tip off. It's not like you need heaps of them. Mine never leaks (so far).

Mine have been leaking from the threading on the cap.

Hey Jason,

Given more and more people are mounting the ESC on the right side of the chassis have you considered offering a chassis with the servo mounts on the other side?

Just curious

Some people do that as they find it easier to balance the chassis. In reality, it doesnt make a difference. Balance is balance. Also keep in mind that some dont take into consideration that the 1S LiPo's are heavier on the side opposite the bullet plugs.

I'm looking to do it more as a wire management thing than a balance thing. The wires just seem to get to the motor better from that side. Interesting about the battery...I hadn't considered that.

Yup that's why I run the Tekin as well Though I am getting rather tired of having to use a reciever pack or booster. I think I am going to check out the Viper Vtrax1 when it comes out.
