Cars look great guys. I have a few things going on with mine. Once I get done, I'll post pictures.

BTW, thanks for the link on the Gen Ace battery. I ordered a few so I can give racing a try. . The 260B and PS is next on the list.

the reliabiltity for me has been better than 2 MM's and 2 MMM's ive only had one failure with tekin since they came out, and it was replaced free, in like 7 days, but i dont like having to rely on a fan, if my setup thermals, i change it, i might honestly go to a truggy motor because they make everything run cooler being they can provide more power, the fans on the MMM were like 3 runs and dead lol, so i always took em off and cut the top of the case off, always ran fine

Thanks Gregg. Still out for a couple more days, but I have a bunch of parts coming in.

I thought about buying some cheap scales to corner balance the car. I'd be interested to know what the weight distribution is like.

Scales sounds like a good idea. Im wondering if you can pick some up at harbor freight? Billy if you get some cheap ones let me know.

I love it! Very nice colour combination, and nice shape on the body. What more than Pro Line is it called?

you need an extension piece for your tekin esc wire.4 inch or 6 inch.route it like the manual shows you .its the safest way.

i understand to route it per the manual with an RX8 requires an extension but his isnt run that way and i was just wondering what route he used since i dont see the wire anywhere in the pics.

just run it under the front chassis brace straight out from the battery tray, if you run it through the little bridge thing you have to remove your battery tray to pull your diff, and also running it this way there is no need for an extension

Ya I ran mine between the front chassis brace and the center diff, seems like it will be fine there. I just couldn't really see yours in the pics.

Do you mean what model? Std. Proline stickers came with the wing.

Good heads up with the ESC wire, did wonder if i needed an extension for mounting it.
