Just curious how are u able to fit a 2200 motor in the 811be?
I have the cobra gt and a 2650 is a tight squeeze let alone a truggy motor.
I'd die to be able to fit a 2250 tekin motor in my car

I don't think its gonna happen ever. I put a Novak Ballistic 8 in a 811BE and I had to grind on the end bell and the groove the steering rack to make it clear. the Tekin Truggy 2250 motors are 4-5mm longer then that. Not gonna happen without a full redesign of the chassis and motor mount.

Yea Didnt think so but saw Saw this post and thought someone was running a 2200 lol

Keeping motor temps below 180 is very difficult with a 2650 when racing a7 minute main onroad. 2250 Truggy motor on my old cars stayed much cooler around 30 degrees when compared to 2650's geared for identical speed (60mph)

Really like the new servo and RX mounting kit though. Just ordered it from desoto. Looks like the new setup will be more airflow friendly vs the original RX tray that I felt enclosed everything to much especially the motor.

Operation Lightweight Serpent is complete. If I really want to go crazy there are a few more Ti screws to change and the Aluminum axles. With the last 2 changes I'm hoping for 3300 grams or close to it.

can you tell a difference with the car lighter?

Hey Randy!

Where did you get the shims for the battery straps?

David absolutely. It drives way more nimble and it lands so much easier.

Paul those are just old shock o-rings LOL

Ah ok they looked like some kind of tapered washer but the more I look at it I see now lol?

O rings probably will break over time. Most hardware stores have 6mm ID plastic spacers that work better. One thing you can also do is put some padding on the underside of the strap.

Can you make a 10 min main with the shorty packs and lower weight?

Was wondering who would lop off the extra carbon behind the diff mount. Not sure what the idea was behind that. Maybe to tie down some wires?

Orca I and 2 of my buddies all had no problems making 10 minutes on Shorties. My one buddy Richard still runs the big 1900kv tekin motor and he makes it with juice to spare. We also run on a LARGE outdoor track that is grooved up and the current layout is extremely strapped.

Mayor I think they were planing on mounting the transponder there. The 2 screw hole were the right spacing for the mount bracket.

what are the best shortys? What type do I need? maybe someone can advise me on some different price ranges?

since I don't have a battery sponsor I budget shop Lipos. Turnigy batteries are an awesome value and you can get the a spec or standard 4200Mah shorties for like 38$ each. There in stock at the moment at the American warehouse also. I just got this pair of intellect shorties from Pro Match RACING. They are less then 50$ each also. Can't go wrong with either of them IMO. If money's no object I'd get the ProTek 100c packs from A main with the 5mm bullets or the new Trinity formula X packs. They are both in the $100 piece range.

That is good to know. Running dual 6000's right now but making the time was always the concern. My new radio tray should arrive tomorrow. Car is apart and ready for it. Racing Saturday so busy night tomorrow getting that and my stadium truck ready.
