Another Tip, well not really a Losi tip but I am using the new Tekin T8 motor in my buggy. The Tekin motor features solder on tabs for connecting the wires, I like this feature a lot. I had problems with some of my Neu motors with the wires failing from vibration where they exited the can. On the older Neu motors the wire exited out of relatively large holes and the wires could rub on the endbell cover or vibrate and cause internal shorts. The tabs eliminate this potential problem area. Some people attach the wires to the rear of the can, this looks cleaner but what I found is that the wires can pull on the tabs when the buggy lands from a jump or hits bumps. The wires don't look very heavy but they are pretty thick, made of copper (heavy) and the force of a 1/8 buggy landing hard can generate a lot of momentum. If you route the wires over the motor can they will be supported by the can and if they do move they pull on the tabs towards the supporting reinforcement board (not away).
Showing how the wires can be mount toward the rear or over the can.
If mounted toward the rear the momentum of the wires can pull the tabs away from the fiberboard support and they may fail.
