new to fourm, pics of finished build.

great looking pede! The HV 4.5 should not have the issues it has in an MT. Overkill for pede, but we like overkill!

I would recommend some Ofna buggy shocks on the rear,the stockers just don't work very good once you add all that weight. These are from an Ultra,on a TRX hybrid

would say that a novak hv motor is about as good as a 1512 size motor, such as the 60mm medusa. I still think a 3000kv 60mm medusa will outperform a novak 6.5hv though...

Confirmed,I have a 4.5 and 36-60-2000,On 4s they are very comparable.I don't think the 6.5 could get up in the same league as the 60 can,maybe a 50.

im using trx aluminium big bores. i think the shock it self is great. it just the 2.5lb that hold it back... but blowing the tire off the rear wheels is the only problem i have right now. seriously thing about adding 8oz of weight in the front to help keep the front down. even with 250' of space, its hard to get full speed, and thats with 12-58 gearing. im gonna try 14-54 tommorw and put that tourqe to good use.
