LOL, tbh, my LRP motor doesn't really get hot at all. But then again, it is winter and I am only running 2wd mod. Currently, only motors I would switch to are Reedy. I'm sure there are alot of great motors out there, but I when I chose my motor, Reedy and LRP were choice 1 and 1A.
i didn't get a whole lot of time with a full size pack,but what i could tell is that the short seemed to take everything a little better,I'm waiting for my full size pack to come,but when i run it i will thinken the oils a little and see how that is.I really like the shortys though
got to run my new worlds car and boy what a difference from my try 201,had the bb springs,shorty lipo and the c towers and that thing was really awesome,.Only problem i had all day is a sheared a ball cup in half,weird!Cant wait to get it back on the track next sat for a big race,here are a couple quick pics
Hey guys, thinking I'm going to order the worlds. car tonight, I would like to order a gear diff to run in it. Are there any other parts I need to order other than the diff.
If I get the 22 shock cups and ghea shock colors that's all I need to run bb springs correct.

I think I'm going to give something else a try for a speedo. Choices are Tekin, Orion, Hobbywing. From what I was told, Orion is just relabeled Hobbywing?
Can anyone who has used both confirm this?
I know Tekin is quality and very tunable, but I am trying to avoid needing a PC to work on it. That's why i loved LRP.
Thoughts...opinions?

i have/had a LRP SXX V2 TC Spec, its my backup ESC to my Hobbywing Xerun v2.1 if that gives u any indication.
the hobbywing is as smooth if not smoother than the LRP. the ease of use will make u chose the hobbywing.
with the program lcd u can make ALL your adjustments super easily. the only time u need to connect the thing to a computer for is to change firmware and create the custom profiles. u can save custom profiles and select them with the programmer. im too lazy for that and i just change my settings until i like it, then when im connected to the computer the next time, ill save that profile as a base setup.
MR. BARRY....
MAN DO I HEAR YOU ON THE RUN OF CRAPPY LUCK AS U ALREADY NO!!!...lol honestly havent heard to much about viper... i NO davey g runs themmaybe shoot him a email.. but then acourse ull get the normal team driver answer likes what expect...

MR SCREW 
LOVE the performance of LRP. You know this.....Just a run of crappy luck. Gonna send em back to get fixed but need something in the mean time and am looking to try something new. I've ALWAYS been a card carrying Orion Fanboy dating back 10 years
and thought it might be cool to check out one. Then heard that HobbyWing makes em and costs half the price..... then someone mentions Viper.........
DAMN ALL OF YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR SUGGESTIONS AND OPINIONS
If I don't find what I want, EXACTLY what I want, I will just grab another LRP.

You can get by on your old body. I had to do the same thing while my new Finnisher body for the +8mm chassis was being painted. It works fine, just doesn't fit perfect.
