6s race setup for sale in about a week 
LMK if interested.. 1350kv tekin t8 motor new this year with 2 or 3 lipo's. (2) SMC hard case 4300mAH 40c and one gens ace 4500mAH 60c (gens ace is new never used specific for 20min a-mains) The 4300 packs will almost get you there as well ~19minutes racing HARD. This setup is ridiculous, but due to recent track rule changes I have to move to 4s.

Many of us run a M4x14mm. I noticed it almost pops into the rear case but still clears everything. May want to try a M4x12mm if 14 makes you un easy.

Ok guys, currently in the build process and I am experiencing some difficulties. (First time build).
Basically its a very smooth build but the front and rear camber links are turning out to be a nightmare to screw together. I dont really have the proper tools to do so, which is why they start feeling VERY VERY tight and I cant screw them in enough to get the right lenghts. What tools do people use to assemble the front rear camber links? ALSO, is there any technique/tip/tricks involved when assembling the camber links? ANY sort of advice would help as simply trying to muscle then in isnt working for me AT ALL.
Also I understand that the camber ends are threaded as we screw the links in. Is that how its supposed to go down? Or am i supposed to thread them with something else before screwing the links in? I had no need to do so up till now in the process (as every plastic is freshly threaded when I insert screws), but maybe I should now? ANYWAY, HELP PLEASE! SOS CALL!
Eagerly waiting for replies! Thanks in advance.

My ET-48 sporting some fresh paint and some telemetry goodness. Battery voltage, motor temp, and speed all right there on my M12.
The holes for the brake linkage on the center diff mount are perfect for mounting the RPM sensor.

Ok, so I have been reading through this thread and am starting to get an irrational desire to buy one of these.
1. From what I gather, I would need a servo with at least 300oz of torque. Anybody have the Protek 170S?
2. it seems a lot of people like 2000kv truggy motor, but I have a 1900kv T8 buggy motor. I would be using 4s batteries. Will this be a good enough motor with an RX-8?
