Hey BP - figured you were still around here. I see that you have learned the wise ways of the Lehner motors.
I've gotten back into my trucks over the summer. The Lightning and its 1940 have pretty much become a shelf queen due to scarcity of parts.... so I converted an LST2 over to brushless for primary bashing. I've also updated my pede (I know - old skoool) to run a velineon

, and now I've gotten a crt .5 up and running. Also turned in all my nimh batteries for Lipos in the process (mostly Hyperion LCX and VX right now). Not a cheap summer but I can't say I'm missing any nitro right now.
Right now CRT has a MM 5700 set up and thats just not enough

. I think the Neu 1509 1y is the ticket ... now I just need to find one!
