Thanks

There should be an aluminum spacer in between the right side bearing in the bulkhead and the 2 speed spur gear.

Thank you... i just pulled it out of the box and had a looksy. Not as bad as i thought it was, does seem to spin free for a while and then tighten up briefly. Maybe it frees up after track time....

I can't remember why i never finished it now

Would a VXR racing LiPo cell fit under the tank?

What's the dimensions of the 1100mah pack? No modifying of the battery tray needed? Just drop right in?

Julius, can you say how high the pack is, or how much it's sticks out of the tray?.
I would like to use the pack in my 720 and my nt1

My best guess is that is is close to a AAA battery. Possibly slightly less thick than the dia of a AAA.

Had an amazing testing with 720 on the weekend after 10 months driving other brand

. The lap time was as quick as my other car that I been driving / testing for months. It has the perfect amount of steering I want. The LCG and brass weight really makes some diff.
