Also can i ask why you bought two kits do you think that you will break 500 dollars worth of parts isnt cheaper to buy parts as you need them from amains their cheap for small orders and fast postage seems like alot of money waiting to be used in spare parts!

I actually got my TBR skid plates for front and back today too. I ordered them before I ordered the buggies, they were fairly slow to get them into the post. I have them on the Vorza so I got them again for the EB48.

The sct pro is an esc that will blow your mind, I bet you'll ditch your rx8. Hw sensored esc's are so smooth, easy to adjust, and unbelievably cheap.

I have no ties to HW btw. I've had 4 Hw esc's and 2 Hw motors, all of them have been great. If I were you I'd drop the $90 on the sct pro and it'll be a bit less of a headache.

Just remember the sct pro isn't rated above 4s, so take that into account.

Now this definately made me think twice, would a SCT pro be enough to power a 4 Pole monster? just want to know the pros and cons, other than that of the Burst and constant power. is the foot print. is the difference negligible when it comes to delivering power?.... or there is a significant difference?

If I don't break much, and I hope not too, I'll run the other car with different ESC and motor probably.

I do have a serious lack of time problem to do the build, but I'll get there. Things were pretty busy and then I got into RC!

Or would you have been better of with 57001 which as a bumper and skid in one from tbr!

you used the wrong screw. (maybe TKR1401 Button Head Screw)

i have always bought these Products for my sons kit and so far no major breakage.... good on the kits and good on my pocket. hahahha

You may be able to screw the 57001 pro bumper with 57002 aswell ! hence the 57002 has longer screws in middle and shortest at the end of 57002
