ok cool post up some results when your ready , i ahve that same motor and esc waiting to be dropped into my slash pe 4x4 when it arrives. The duratrax parts are all backed by the stress tech warranty for the first year . I have never found there parts (plastics) to hold up to abuse . I used to have a efw nitros and in one crash something would always break. I guess thats why they have the stress tech gaurantee to lure you in and you know most people arnt going to want to wait to send in for new parts ...
