Haven't used either of them, although I am biased towards LRP, just cause that's what I've always run in my cars, but id say if you already have a tekin and are used it, might as well keep it the same in all your cars.

if you're looking for things to make.. look here: http://www.ghea.se/webshop.php?sd_esp_1_pagesize=50

as importing these is somewhat irritating... and having them available from someplace over here would be much nicer

Savox makes a good servo for the money. Only complaint I have heard from people around here is they are a bit noisy (chattery)

Well, GPM used to make their fanned motor plates for the t4 and I can still get them but not in the color I want... They used to have a machined 'red' one here:

but I believe its discontinued... Would go sick with my cars future paint-scheme so if you wanna give it a shot...

Its only been out for a couple months so they might get more (who knows?) but if not, you got my business on at least one part

Oh, if you look at the recent Murfdogg motors thread you will see a couple complaints but the problem only exists if you use that brand of motor They have ways to avoid the glitching but its something to do with the frequencies that the servos use so just be wary!

So what are good things to know about the car? Mods and upgrades? Also, if anyone has any 0 degree rear hhubs they want to unload, PM me.

I started using the 1251mg in my FT SC10 and love it. About to buy two more for the other SC10 and a future project. Light, small and quick. Not sure about those complaining about the noise. I can barely hear mine.

Where are all of the normal places to put the weight in?

there is a gap between the transmission case and the toeblock (where the hingepins connect to the chassis) put 1/2 oz in there.... the 2 little triangles at the rear (one behind the antenna and the other on the opposite side) 1/4 oz in each of those, and then next to your receiver, whatever is needed to balance out the ESC weight (usually 1/2 to 1 oz)

Has anyone tried the RPM a-arms on the T4? Put them on my B4, that sucked, have them on my SC10, love them. No one seems to know about the T4.

They are great but change dimensions a little bit and along with the big RPM bumper makes your front end stick out farther... I tried it for two runs and kept digging into the clay while landing... converted back
