The connectors between the ESC and motor have a tendency to come apart and it will cause that. I put shrink wrap on mine.

Mah/1000xC.
A 5000mah at 30C will produce 150 amps.
A 4000mah at 25C will produce 100 amps.
You will need to know the rating of your ESC and motor to see how much you need.

Are you saying that you broke two servo horns in one day? I would be surprised because the servo saver should be the weak spot. I broke two servo savers within 20 minutes of track time, but haven't...

If you can drill and put screws and nuts in then that's your best bet.
If you have to use glue or some kind of adhesive try Super Amazing Goop or Shoe Goo

I totally agree. Unless there is a huge difference I like to buy from my LHS. It just feels good to support the local guy, and when there are problems he'll be there to help.

I meant that I'm not talking bad about the bumper. The bumper works great but I ended up replacing my top plate due to the added stress.

Be careful. Not bashing the product but the screws like to back out and you will end up replacing the top plate.

WD40 on tires

Some of the guys at the local track put WD40 on their tires for traction. I tried it and it seems to work but wonder if there is a down side. Fast tire wear or soft inserts?
