Do you know how expensive that would be?!? Clubs don't make profit, and 30 race fees aren't going to cover all the running costs plus employing marshals!

At our local track, none of the marshal...

That's not it's final running weight though. About 3.5kg would be nearer. For example, the D8 listed weighs 3.4kg, but that is the RTR weight. As a rolling chassis, it'd be nearer 1.9kg.

Hopefully he'll love it! It was my old one. I got on fine with it, but with the end of the season, naturally I wanted to try something different - so I've bought an MMP and a T8 1400kV motor to run...

Capacitor question

I'm going to be running an MMP in my 1/8 buggy, and taking Brian's advice, am going to run some extra caps. (3 220uF 35V 105C electrolytic caps)

My question is, (and I think I know), do I solder...

No, as in the MMM is smooth as silk on the latest updates.

I'd get the Tekin T8 if 2200kV or 2650kV don't suit you properly. Otherwise, I'd just go with the MMM motors.

Judging by the other TRF801X (the buggy) that has been converted, a Mugen mount may fit - you'll need to ask him.

Yeah I should, but what I meant was that is about as long as I'd need/use as it'll be for racing - geared for ~ 42-43 mph with .5" tyre ballooning on Brian's calculator.

To have higher efficiency, you surely must have less...
