here you go with a better pic

The bag seems to be from this store in Germany.

Not on their site yet, the article mentions April. Seems too good to not have other companies use the same format.

You guys use the bags for charging, storage, transportation or all 3? I store and charge in an ammo box. Haven't transported them yet.

I'm BLLs deep into this car man..........

After getting 1 Gens ace for practice, yeah... unless something breaks; I'm over buying stuff. I've got everything I could possibly want for this car.

Uh hum....
Grand total I've put into it....
Estimate +/- $150 margin of error - $1800.00

When I was warned 1/8 scale was expensive, ... I was warned...

And it didn't help I had nothing of the LIPO class. I needed everything from the ground up.

I have a couple of lipo bags from hobbypartz that I never use. I don't even see anyone at the track using them.

Yeah, I got a chuckle from Seville Bravo this past weekend about my lipo sack. I'd rather be safe than sorry. I know the likelihood of something happening is slim. But I still don't want to ruin anything but the batteries if they give out.

Id be happy to take that Tekin off your hands for you. how do $100 sound?

I have a 1700 Tekin and was curious if anybody is running this on 4S? If so, does it have plenty of top end on the 4S, or would 5S be best?

My opinion is PURELY speculatory since I havent even driven my buggy yet... but I would say that on 4s it would be good for short tight tracks... 5s would give you the bit higher overall speeds which you may need on "normal" tracks... and I am sure you could even get up into the 6s range and run a smaller pinion to get the same effect...

1700 is probably going to be a bit lacking on top end for most with a 4S.

I've run a 1700 on 4S quite a bit INDOOR... But outdoor I think you'd be at a bit of a disadvantage.

where can you buy the m2c pistons, i havent seen them on their site

I thought the M2C pistons were pretty much the same as the 10 x 1.1 tapered AE pistons. They're not on M2C's web site anymore, for whatever reason.

Not sure how thin the walls are but looks like it should fit the top of the shocks.

I posted this a few pages back. Mine came with my Hyper 7.

Call them directly. The pistons are different that the AE ones. Some people got them @ the PNB and ran them there and said there was a difference. That track was blown out pretty bad, so it was probably a good test area.

That is what I thought a bit ago. Just ordered another $100 in spare parts, oils, ride height gauge etc.

It never ends!
