I have a some venting on my body. Honestly its great for the weight savings but that motor was never intended to be run on big outdoor 1/8th layouts. And for sure not on the current layout at Mills. Its FAST and your strapped up quite a bit.

I'm gonna switch ESC's to a Gen 2 Rx8 from this little hobbywing SCT Pro. It just doesn't have enough adjustment. I'm not ready to give up on it yet as I really like the way my car is working with all this weight I've shed. I understand the new ESC tray and servo mount are stupid light also.


Fast Pete you'll have to go back several pages there are pictures of it installed in a car. It's 3 separate pieces now all Carbon and an Aluminum mount for the servo. It's SUPER trick
Either way the serpent looks way more nimble with the lighter motor and shorty packs. I'm running the typical 1900 and full stick packs, and you can feel how heavy the car is around the track. Good, but can be better

I'm not sure how heavy Jader's Xray is, but maybe running shorty packs would help his temps out some as well.
