*bump* Does anyone here go there? Their site doesn't have a calendar, so I don't know when it's open for practice or racing (looks like club racing might be Tues/Weds). I also don't have tires that...

I found them from CNJST. Model number is A2004Y-09-A6W, which I'm now fairly certain is designed to be compatible with some variety of Molex connector, but cannot track the right one down...

Thunder Power Balance Connectors...

The old ones that look sort of like a JST-PA or possibly some random type of Molex connector. Does anyone know what these are?

Why not just get a BLS451? Only slightly more than the DS1015 and they require less maintenance/last forever in comparison to a brushed servo... You don't need the extra torque for a 2wd.

I thought they did it because all they needed to do was essentially slap a Centro gearbox on it. Not that idlers are heavy, but every gear is adding some drag and complexity. The Centro had to be...

Why on earth did they use 4 gears in the transmission? Considering they needed a new case anyhow, it would have been easier to keep the motor orientation and use a single idler just like older...

The word from my friends that race where the truck tires debuted is that the ions are super dialed. Brand new ones are at least as good as broken in bar codes on medium-to-high-bite clay. The extra...

4 is too many? One of those 4 is rarely used, too.

In fact, my B44.1 doesn't even use that rare one, so it's actually 3. The B44.2 should be the same.

Wait, it is, on those two metric screws...

The arms are probably compatible unless they did a major redesign of their excellent bulkhead/top plate/steering rack, which is unlikely.

The problem is that it looks like they might be longer for...

Lots of minor changes here, for sure. Just a while ago I noticed my B44.1 was the exact same length as my B4.1+8. I thought the length was somehow optimal, then this comes out.

So, I want to see...

As rigor said, yes. However be aware that there are now V1 and V2 bar codes. You want the V1s, not the V2s. OCRC carries all the most popular tires and foams on the track, so you can just pick them...

You might also want to try some drag brake. I'm running a fair bit (~10-20%) on my cars (not Losi) to get better rotation in corners.

I wish the industry would adopt a 5mm bullet (or similar) for one polarity. Just different enough that it is impossible to plug in backwards.

The MX-V isn't even in the same league/price range as the 4PL. It is closer to a 3PL or DX3C. Realistically, the 4PL should be compared to an MT-4 or DX3S.
