    i should add that if i was driving in a perfectly clean environment i’d be using a titanium or teflon grease. the krytech is not as good a lube as those, but it stays clean.
    it will flick off if you run it before it’s dry, and after that it gradually breaks away like a regular lube only quicker. so you need to apply it more often than other lubes, but you won’t need to clean anything. just re apply and go!

    jay-z, spray chain lube is usually oil, check first. not a bad thing but i’m refering to the parafin wax type lube. and graphite is fantastic, messy but great. when my xmod runs a little slow a little graphite on the gears is an instant pick me up. just don’t combine it with oil, it’s one or the other:8ball:

    i’m just gonna stick with the 4 cells. initial tests with the stage 2 and nelly are a success so the hotter motor will be fine:8ball:

    and that’s your final product. just trim off the tabs on either end.
    i know it’s a simple thing but it’s hard to explain without pictures.:8ball:

    you’ll notice that there’s a strip of metal connecting the 2, you want to fold the batteries around at this point:8ball:

    you must upgrade your fets, either internally or externally before running any motor that’s hotter than the x speed. eg: dropping a plasma dash in a stock car (electronically speaking) will produce a short run of about 5 seconds before setting off a smoke bomb! the stock fets can only take so much, i personally would stick with the x speed until then:8ball:

    i too came to that conclusion, that’s why i’m leaving z’s behind. my xmod has taken ten times the beating and is only now out of action. parts are on the way but!:smiley2::8ball:

    i hafta agree with mocky, there are some shortcomings. but it’s surely better than an mr01, it’s got a servo saver!:blush::8ball:

    i’ve discovered that a full alloy steering setup is just as bad. i’d go for the mro2 purely for the servo saver:8ball:

    sounds like you got the right idea, i’d add bearings to that list if they’re not already installed. wide tyres and quality rubber is important too. but nothing beats knowing the cars handling pros and cons.:8ball:

    no no no! the motor in question is NOT a bcg motor. it is a “BCG MOTORS” motor. geddit? the company name is “BCG MOTORS”:8ball:

    the pink endcap bcg motors 3.8’s are only sold through tinyrc. the perfection 3.8’s are blue and the cream coloured one is most likely a 4.2:8ball:

    if he’s using the enertec batteries, they’re dual 1/4 aaa 70mah nimhs. there is room in the chassis for 2 x 1/3 aaa. with the stock batteries i would charge it on the controller 3 – 5 times:8ball:
