I'm not sure there is much difference.. I've been running 6s for a while, they were my top motor picks (t8's), I've seen a few people have issues w/ gen2 so I stayed with what I knew worked great.. On a positive note I have not seen any more g2 truggy/buggy motor issues recently. I did see another rx8 white give away the magic smoke this last weekend :P

I am starting to look around for a motor/esc and battery set-up for my rig and I thought I'd check with you all since you guys have already been testing set-ups...
1. I am going to run the Tekin 1350kV and RX8 (Gen 2) combo for motor and esc.
2. I want a good set of 6S packs to run this... What would you all recommend for a good battery?
Keep in mind that this is my first electric r/c vehicle (since I was a kid), so I am trying to learn as much as I can as fast as I can!
Some guys tell me I should just get hard-case packs while others say it doesn't matter... I have no clue! LoL! I have looked at the SMC 6S hard-case packs and they seem pretty legit to me but I wanted to see what you guys had to say before I take the plunge on that big of a purchase!
Thank you in advance!

i use the same motor and after many incorrect lipo buys (3800 - 4400 mah) i realized its way too much run-time and i could also benefit from a weight saving, so after buying packs from 3000mah to about 3500 it was still too much, and now i exclusively use 2600mah gens ace 25-50c packs and they work great (12-14min runtime) and the weight is no more than 400grams...

Hey guys this is my first jump into the Truggy's, I'm gonna be running pro-match 7600 mah 4s packs. Now on all my tenth scale stuff I run bullet plugs on my batteries, no one does that with these correct? And if so what's the most used plug, deans?
