Thanks guys! Really appreciate the good feedback.

E-Revonut - Yes, the MMM is a little overkill, and I actually have a MM ESC and UBEC I can put in it, but the car becomes even more crowded than it already is.

spaz163 - If you are referring to the strap in the 8ight, then so far it has been strong. However, I only installed that battery tray about a week ago, and had the first bash with it yesterday, so I haven't had any long term testing with it yet. However, judging by the crashes and jumps I had with it yesterday, I don't anticipate it breaking anytime soon. I actually asked this exact same question to Dan (owner of RCPD) and he said that putting a little strip of velcro on the bottom of the tray really helps, and that the only time the strap has a chance of breaking is if you lawn dart a jump. I just put some foam padding on all sides of the tray and some extra soft foam at the ends of the battery.

What's_nitro? - I just wish there was someone with me yesterday to film when I went to a construction site with the 8ight and CRT.5. There were some pretty ugly crashes.

And HUGE jumps as well.

Living in Southern California though, the rain doesn't seem to like us, so the only dirt the cars will really get on them is dust, which with an air compressor, blows right off in minutes.

But seriously, those cars see dirt at least a couple times a week... when they are working.

Here is a link to some video's I have on You Tube if anyone is interested:

Also, if you watch the desert bash video, the quality turned out really bad for some reason, but watch the ending (once the music stops)... its pretty pretty funny.
