I looked up the team. Motor mount and it's awesome . I plan on getting the inner bearing support so I can run a wider range of pinion gears

I've had the TP610 for a few months now and I'm very happy with it.

Good input on the motor mounts, guys. I'm especially glad I bought the Grid RC mount now.

Lars, here are some links.
Grid RC: http://www.gridrc.com/shop/
Elite: http://www.elitercd.com/index.php?op...d=62&Itemid=29

I went with the inner pinion support Grid mount since it allows for the use of larger pinions.

I like the idea of the Elite mount, but is the sliding motor mount only supported by one bolt?

The slider is only supported by one bolt, but it's machined so tight that you don't need another. Grid is similar, only one bolt to secure, but a ratcheting design for setting the mesh. I have both, just for a different vehicle. For those running the Grid mount, are you using the spacer under the mount?

That is some nice mounts. Guess they are better then mine, hehe! Posting a pic to show what i have, guess it is the stock one. It bothers me that i can't use 4 mm mountingbolts with it. When tightening up the bolts they "slided" in the motormount making the mesh, ehh, not mesh anymore. More mess than mesh

I have the 206b and like it. epbuddy.com also sells them. Get the parallel cables also. We can charge 6 batteries at once.

Yeah I think the max is about in the 140ish range. Look around though, some people have cut the outside wall and the back wall to the speed controller off you can fit a lot bigger batteries in there. Looking around though, there are alot of battery choices for this buggy.
