Here is links to pics of my motor mounted in the car:



Again I don't have enough posts yet to post pics, but you can paste the above lines in your browser and it should work.

Have you guys tried different differential oils? I put 200,000 in the front and 40,000 in the rear and it seems to be a good combination. These diffs don't seal so I have to add oil to the rear diff about every three or four nights of racing. The front is so thick that it doesn't leak much. What do you guys use?

Here are the tabs, i can Maybe soder the wires on the back, but i didn't like how it would be just the tip of the wires on the motor, so i put it on top, but i tried to put them as flat as possible.



Here you can see how tight it is at the motor's lowest position

THANKS GUYS!!!

That's what I needed to see.

Now I know what to expect when I upgrade to a Ballistic.

Thank for posting the pics!!!
