Thanks for the help Traveler2! I was only able to find 1 EVO board in stock anywhere, and I scooped it up. It was at Hobby Addicts, it's the first time ordering from there, but they looked legit so I'll let yall know. I completely pulled the circuit board out of the 98mm, and really looked it over, and the only thing I can see that is bit off it the tiny capacitor doesn't look quite right. But I figured I will just use it to break in motors in since reverse works. I'm going to build the 2.5 with the EVO board that's on it's way, and I'm n the look out for a second EVO board. I already have 2 EVO receivers, and the ISC adaptor so I'm set there. I'm going to try out a brushless motor for the first time at this scale, so any recommendations would be appreciated! It is going in a PN mount and for Mini96 only, so I was figuring a 3500k.???
I REALLY LIKE the layout this month, both fast and technical. The MX-5 needs a bit more dialing in. It's turning well, but I get quite a bit of rear wheel hopping when I get into the throttle. I have a PN Dual Spring shock to add, and tires and T plates to try, and I also have some tungsten putty to add weight, as it's very light!
Here's the pics of the 90mm with the Nexx 90/94mm RM Pod and Toyota GT1 PN carbon nose clip. If you look close you can see the notch I filed to get the thickness right for the MX-5. The thickness is good but it is about a half mill to narrow, so there is a bit of side to side play. I'm going to try plastic putty in the body mount hole to tighten things up. With 20mm wheels and standard height tires I have just under 1.5mm ground clearance under the PN 70T motor, and just under 3mm clearance at rear of chassis and just under 2.5 at the front.
Take Care and Hope Everyone is safe in this crazy weather!

P.S. Forgive the patch job on the positive motor wire, but it was 2mm short going from a MM to RM mount, But my Soldering supplies just got here, so I can now TRY to solder these tiny wires! Thanks EMU for the soldering Iron recommendation! Now to get a Magnifying visor so I can see these tiny connection with my old eyes! LOL I'll probably get on of those "Helping Hands" solder jig to help!
