Kinda forgot I made this thread, haha.

Anyways, thanks for the replies fellas.

I am planning on 6s, I did think of 4s for a while but figured 6s would be quite fun and should get longer run times.

At the moment, I think I am leaning towards the 1500kv motor, although I am still not 100% sure, I will be when I pay for it (possibly tomorrow or monday), only because then it will be too late to change my mind, haha.

One more question about the Wye vs Delta thing...
With a Wye wound motor, more timing is required to get it running right correct?
Could this chew into run time much?
I played around a little on my 3550 leopard wye wound motor, but dont really have something I could compare it to.
I noticed after putting the timing up it ran much better and cooler but it seemed the run time was a little shorter than usual (compared to a velineon 3500), I didn't actually time it though, and I was running it pretty hard.

As for the motor brace, that HPI one looks pretty good and study, probably the best option but I am not sure if they would fit on the MBX5T.
However I am thinking of the Losi 8E one or just run some high density foam underneath (shape it), havn't quite figured out how to stop it from going the other way though.
