Are you guys wiring it onto the plugs or just directly to the top of the cap leads?

I think my esc uses a 25mm fan. (might be 20mm?)

Has anyone tried running original lower arms infront and 800x lower arms in rear. I have a pair of co4m-0.5 I want to use in the front of my 800x. Side by side the holes are all the same.

That makes sense
Having the same arm in "front" or in "rear" should yield same performance.

Have diff arm front left and front right "might" get wonky

I am also trying out today the original a800 bullkheads, motor mount and top deck today as they fit on the a800x chassis. I feel the chassis flex is better.

I'm sticking with the VTD as I find it suits the track here better than the std top deck, feels more predictable. I did however find 10k rear diff oil was a bad move!

Hey guys. Does anyone know where to source the taller caster doodles for use with off road setup systems? I think they were made by a company called "Blaze".
