Thanks for your reply, Im not going to be racing but more of bashing and taking it to a local off road dirt track to just putz around and run with some friends.
How about the MMP with the 4 pole 4600kv motor? Would that be better? Reason I am sticking with the CC motors and esc is because I have access to these.
Thanks again and thanks to everyone else who has/ will reply to me.

Also will this exact system do the trick since you guys are saying the mmp with 3800kv... "Castle Creations Max Race Pro SCT 25.2V 3800kV System" Whats throwing me for a loop is the 25.2v part in the title!
Heres a quick link I dug up..... http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXBLCE&P=7
Thanks for putting up with the questions

Stick with the one you have more pinions for.
I run 48p (ergo 3.17mm shaft), super smooth, super adjustable, and super silent.
32p is too noisy and sloppy for me.
Edit: Yep, that's the system. 25.2V is the max supported voltages, you'll run 2S most of the time though. It's still plenty fast. Comes with 5mm shaft, use 32p then. Not a big deal, some people prefer it.

Muuuuuch cheaper than Tower. Free shipping aswell.

I run that exact motor on Havoc Pro SC esc and have no braking issues barring the tractiong on the track. On test runs in the street it stops almost on a dime. Hmm? Go figure?

Thanks guys, ok I do have another question. I see some shafts are 5mm and some are 3.2mm which one should I get?

Just a quick tip. I see that a lot of guys are CA gluing the clicker down for full 4x4 so it won't loosen up. I think that's too permanent. I tightened down my clicker and there is plenty of thread there so I put another lock nut to prevent backing out. Now I can go back to running the clicker if I ever decide.

Ran my "shimmed" rear diff last night. NOt a click one!! nice.... ALthough I think I could possibly remove one shim. Truck seemed a little tight and rotation had been affected.
Ran pinned and unpinned. Was 1/10sec. faster, over 16.5 seconds lap times, w/ the pin. Might have been able to go a little faster, but these rebars are somewhat traction roll prone....
Trying to get the novak ballastic 4.5/550 to brake well. Can't seem to get any brakes out of it. It sure don't brake like the CC3800.
Oh well, 1 thing at a time.............

does anyone know what diameter the axles are where the wheel hex's slide on? also what thread is the wheel nuts?
I'm attempting to put wider hex adapters on , I have a set for the losi but they have a little smaller hole in them.

I'm running the rx8, I haven't had a chance to get it on the hotwire. All the tuning I've done was in pit tune mode, using the buttons on the esc. I'll probably be able to get some more brakes out of it.
I've made esc and motor changes lately, It's gonna take some time to get it set-up, I guess.

look what i got in the mail today!!
i has some holes in it for what looks like a saddle mount kit, i dont want to drill extra holes in it so before i install it i have to come up with some sort of different hold down. where the holes are though the batts will have to go longitudinally. its is gorgeous, workmanship is A1! worth 100 bux. i will do some thorough testing with it next week.
