Nope. It just means HPI is going down the tubes. Actually, nobody knows what is going on with them right now but it doesn't look good.

Nope. Good Vorza motor mount info is not easily found. There is that one company, Elite RC, that made aftermarket parts but they haven't had any motor mounts in stock in years. This is good info.

That might be the most useful bit of information I've ever read on any Vorza forum.

My Vorza had the Blur ESC, not the newer ELC-6s. The MM2 had just been released at the time so I replaced my Blur with that while waiting for the replacement. It has been great but the switch can get...

Sounds familiar. My first Vorza esc died on the third run. Hobbico replaced it. It sat on a shelf for two years. I finally put it into a Yeti XL and it died on the 5th run. Now I run Mamba Monsters...

A buddy of mine is looking at the Typhon. Great price on that one with a lot of nice aluminum parts. Bigsquid seemed to like it pretty well.

Yep. Adjusting the mesh with the stock motor mount can be a pain. If you are going to tinker with gearing, spend a couple extra bucks on a bag of motor mount screws. You'll be glad you did. Other...

My Vorza, on 4S anyway, has been a bulletproof beast of a buggy and I'd love to see some updates for it. Unfortunately, with HPI lately, the successor would probably look something like this.

Made a camera mount and attached it to my transmitter. There's some Vorza action at 6:50 and runs to the end of the video. It's running on 4S with the 2650 KV motor.

Got my new diff and case today. The Vorza is back in action and is ready to shred more yard. It's so wicked. I love this buggy. 4S with the 2650 is amazing. 6S is jaw dropping, even for me.

I got to run mine in a fine layer of powdery snow recently. It was... beautiful. 4 white roostertails wherever it went. An hour later, the snow was gone. That's probably all we'll get this winter. I...

Not usually but all electronics can go bad. Sometimes they are bad right out of the box or they may last for years. This ESC is made by Castle and unfortunately, they've had a run of bad luck lately...

Sounds like another stock ESC crapped out. At least it didn't explode! You could recalibrate the throttle range but I doubt that would help since it was fine before. Call the support number on the...

The MM2 fits perfectly in the ESC tray but the strap will not fit without modification and it's a little too tall. The receiver wires exit the ESC directly under one leg of the strap. I added velcro...
