Well, got my combo yesterday in the mail. The RX8 2000 combo (thanks Stormer for the super fast shippng!) Had to flip the front chassis brace to the other side of the truck to get the motor lined up right. No big deal. Right now, the ESC ziptie is place holder until I solder on the wires. I am waiting on my connectors and one more foot of 12gauge wire to make my series harness. I am also waiting on my long shank pinion.

The truck feels perfectly balanced. I guess I need to drive it to confirm.

According to Brian G's calc, I will be running 30K rpm's geared 46x17 for 39mph. We have a large track.

Hopefully I get my connectors and pinion today, so I can drive it on Saturday.

Oh, that's my erevo rx case. The servo and ESC wire is already attached running under the motor (not touching). Should be a real clean conversion when completely done.
