I found the tester actually wasn't accurate at 8.4V, 8.3V and below for accurate consistent reading. Of course, based on n=1 testing with a single tester. Results should be repeatable and consistent....

First experiences with the XR8 Pro G3 are poor. It seems to have some sort of 'soft' thermal shutdown which kicks in at around 95 degrees C, in addition to a hard shutdown at 120 or so C (the latter...

Tamiya typically has a metric pitch spur. You need a small adapter ring for 64p spur gears. So, either run Tamiya-size spurs and pinions, or run a 64p...

Mostly finished building mine. Like what I see, but didn't quite expect the amount of slop on the ball-ends for a kit like this. Also not sold on the diff yet, the other similar diffs I have run...

I doubt you'll see much of a difference performance wise with any of the modern cars, if properly assembled. I'd base my choice of car on the following:

Either should be fine. Compared to the 1251 the 1252 is slightly faster at the expense of torque. Have seen some issues with Savox power consumption, though, you ESC needs 6V, and quite some power to...

I'm surprised they went with an aluminium rear axle. Carbon is pretty much the standard these days.

According to Serpent, they've been running it at the ETS series... which makes we wonder about the width. Also, ETS f1 is (was?) limited in which chassis you can run.

There's only so many ways you can build a sidelink rear pod :P.
