I got the differentials leak free with new oils(f-c-r , 5000-10.000-3000). I also changed to a xcellorin 1700kv motor, since the color is the same as the alu on the rest of the car Looks great.

This time I went to a gravel/sand parking lot near the woods, which was empty just as I hoped. The LRP buggy worked so well, and looked bad ass with my newly painted shell(I took "before pics" so you can se it before any wear and tear). Again the performance was awesome, this is now my favourite buggy by far. Lots of steering on and off power

IMO the xcellorin 1700kv motor is a great motor on 5s(probably 6s too), lots of low end power and top speed was great in this light buggy.

I will post pics when I get home in a couple of days.

I have always heard the Xcelorin motors are pretty solid, should be a good setup. I think a lot of people just don't consider them because the ESCs have kind of a bad reputation.

I have a Z-CAR ZMXB-8 here which I have to convert to brushless for my team racer. It is the same as the LRP buggy. I already have the RC Monster mount for it. He will be running 2 - 2S 5000Mah Li-Po's. Do you think the Mamba Max 2200 would be a good setup? I am fairly new at this brushless stuff because I run Nitro. I would use the Xceleron set-up, but everything is out of stock at Horizon.
For the Mechanical brakes, I see how you set it up, but how is it wired in? Does it connect to the receiver for the same channel as the ESC? Any help with this would be appreciated.

I think my racer runs 5, 3 , and 1. He does very well with this setup, but he is also very smooth with the throttle.

We don't have to do the conversions anymore. Z-Car is finally releasing their Brushless Pro kit. I have some on order and can't wait to build one and try it out.
