This is the motor I got, Someone just told me I should't use this motor. What do you guys think? I went with the truggy motor and 4s lipo thinking I would be able to compete with the nitros at my local track. Did I make the wrong choice? Please chime in your input.

Used that exact motor in my RC8BE last year a bit to test. Worked great. Tone it down a bit on the ESC settings and you're set. I liked the way the truggy motor performed in the buggy and I found it to be more durable than the buggy motors.

Bah,

I think I've seen some conversation about this earlier but am I doing to need an extension for the ESC wire heading to the receiver?

God.. it's one thing after another on the mods LOL

Quick question what are the are the two spikey things on top of the diff cover for

I found a solution, but not necessarily a good one:

I routed the ESC wire to the receiver box along the side of the battery tray.... and, I just realized it isn't going to work. Damn it. The wire will rub against the spur gear.

No choice but to go underneath. I guess no choice but to buy an extension

Hey sarinexia i see that your from albany, any idea if there are any tracks around there. I cant find anything in the area

I know a guy in Nassau that has a 300ft track with doubles and singles. It's a great track. Just met him. Will be spending time practicing there.

For the competitive racing I'm going to chester, NY and Rome, NY. The 1/8 E run with the nitro's at both tracks.

the nitro brakes

does anyone have websites to buy the the icharger p350w power supply having trouble looking one up... thanks

So, who is running an extension from the ESC to the receiver?

I can't see any way to get around it.

Now the question is, what kind of extension do I need??

I'm running a Futaba 4PL 2.4ghz. Thus, the Futaba J connection I would think is the correct one.

Thoughts?

I'd do a single 4S, pretty much for the fact that the wiring is going to be less involved and will likely result in less internal resistance.

I'm running one. You can use a universal or a Futaba extension. I bought a Futaba extension off of Tower, but I only needed one that was like 2" long, so I cut one end off and bought these connectors from A Main:

I have some crimpers I use on the race car that worked perfectly. I was able to make very good crimps and it works great without a bunch of extra wiring.

I even shortened my steering servo wire and eliminated all that extra wiring too.

Extension? I don't run an extension. I run it under the battery tray then in between the center bulk head and the front chassis brace.
