For the mains (which were 8 min) I ended up winning that because his silver can eventually blew up.
So I think anything less then 5 minutes both motors are pretty equal but after 5 minutes the silver can starts to overheat and tends to fade rapidly.

I saw that Spaz Stix makes a carbon fibre decal sheet, they had it at A Main Hobbies but were out of stock when I looked. I suspect that's what he did there. I'm definitely going to steal that idea when I can get the decals
I've attached my just-built F104 Pro - I'll shorten the servo and ESC wires a little bit, yet. I'm guessing with the wires and the ESC, I might have to put half an ounce or so of lead on the other side to help balance it out.

Looks nice Kevin. I recommend no zip ties on the motor wires- keep them as free as possible so that the rear pod has extra movement. You might even try thinner motor wires as well. I also suggest non insulated sensor wire- gives the rear pod more freedom of movement also I think Stormer hobbies has extra flex sensor wires for pan cars.
Hope to race you soon!

I just wanted to make sure they didn't end up clipping the rear wheel/tire at all, but it's probably not a big concern since it seemed like I got the lengths right, so I'll remove it. I didn't think about how it might affect the suspension. I will look into the sensor wire, but I'm not crazy about changing all the motor wires and re-soldering everything.
Don't mind me Run it, enjoy it, make improvements a little at a time. Car looks great so far.
