Thanks,

Hi Antoni,

sorry for the delay in responding, have been trackside for 12 + hours running.

Yes electric space is quite tight. The manual says to get more room to cut the lugs off one side of your servo and use 1 post and then double sided tape.

I have managed to fit mine however without doing this with the receiver on its side. Speed passion Gt2.0 and Sanwa 2.4 receiver. My Capacitors are placed behind the ESC between ESC and belt.

From running the car in the UK we have noticed the car has alot more front flex than the old T3. So it took us a while to get to grips with a setup. But now we have really got the car going well and its soo nice to drive. The car is super consistent for all 5 minutes.

Back to back tests with the T3'011 and std T3 showed me an improvement of 2 tenths a lap. and around 5 - 6 seconds faster in 5 minutes. I tested at Ardent Raceway in the UK which is a permanent track so it was a fair test for both cars.

Also watch out for the motor screws that can touch and restrict top deck flex. i believe its in the manual on how to avoid it. It caught me out with the SP motor (a)
