IMO, many people are either WAY over thinking this car. Mostly the stock guys.

If you're periodically checking it, there really shouldn't be an issue. Don't you inspect your cars closely while in the pits? I often find issues doing the occasional visual inspection of parts/chassis/components etc. Even chassis protector film could be used to avoid abrasion from the battery.

yeah, you had different pistons and your 2mm spacer was forward and not behind. I still have that setup on that car. I was running it last night in practice to compare to mine. The car is pretty good. I noticed also that several other guys were running the long links. Also, I put the orion in my "main" car. Oh man, with the upgraded SS firmware that esc is sick. I am fairly certain, that it should not be legal. I dont know what they didnt to that firmware, but it pulls enough current from my packs to warm the lipo and use 1600 mah in 5 minutes of 17.5. I plan to keep the orion in the buggy for the near term
Or posting testing unrealistic testing results(no names again), they have real teammates and engineers. Thats where they go for information

ok, I am sure a fanboy will chime in, but my tekins always ran hotter than most brands. And they always felt less powerful. So less power and more heat, mean I sold them. I run reedy's mainly these days. I want to try the hacker, because many locals seem to think its godly...and my daughter likes purple, lol (for her car)
I really liked my B5 rm cars, so i was not too sure why I got a new MM..... Both cars are good, but man I really love that mid motor.

IMO, 17.5 is sketchy for MM. Not because MM sucks or anything weird. Its power and heat. The car is heavier unless you spend $$$$$ to make it light, and in general 17.5 motors are run hot to get speed out of them. But the MM has much less cooling, so that makes the whole thing worse. Almost every mod car at the local track is MM and they can do wheelies all day with the traction level. But in stock, 90% of the cars are RM. Mostly for the power. MM handles just fine. I am hoping to put together a mod MM car soonish. I need a second class to run.

a little duct tape and that car is fine.
Yeah, that will buff out..

Has anyone run saddle and square packs? I'm assuming there is little or no difference with equivalent battery specs but I wanted to see what people had to say.
