and since two trackpowers are cheaper, the answer is obvious.. :p

Right. I was actually thinking of doing that - putting two of them together would make it a 4 cell 4900. I was looking at a couple of the other 2 cell Enerlands too. Not as tempting as the two Trakpowers. What do you thik Serum - are the two Trakpowers, the Lehner 1950/7 hi-amp, and MM esc going to give me a great system that will stay cool?

I don't know if this means anything, but I just tried to program my MM and when I started the app, it told me that a firmware upgrade was available. Is this the fix?

[glassdoctor]

I wish it was...

[Serum]

Nope, the update is a fix for the lipo cell count..

Yeah, the setup you have in mind will be awesome!!

That's funny, because I've never had a problem with my MM detecting the cells. In fact, I wasn't even aware of this issue. We just happened to finish my friends 8ight tonight. We got the MM in from Mike today. Plugged everything up, jacked in a 4S pack and it only beeped twice. I wasn't happy, after what he had been through dealing with Finedesign. I decided to try the flash with the new firmware and all is well.

I suppose we should just keep twidling our thumbs, or perhaps just go out and buy a Quark. I really wanna get that Neu. For some odd reason, I just don't find the Lehner as appealing.

Trust me, once you have a lehner motor in your hands, it's sweeter than sweet. Besides its ugly sticker and ditto purple end bell, it's simple a precision produced tool..

I'm just curious - what about the Lehner don't you like? Other than what Serum mentioned about their disco packaging. They should put a few rinestones around it or something and just go all out.

The Lehner that I was interested in was the 1940/7, but it has a 4mm shaft. If I got with a Lehner, it might have to be a 1950, just because of the shaft diameter.

What's wrong with the 4mm shaft? Is it pinion availability? If so, RC-Monster has 4mm pinions.

mike can make you an adapter so any 5mm pinion will fit the 4mm shaft. I have one he made. It works great. Used it to figure out the gearing I want with my 5mm pinions. Then ordered the correct 4mm pinion. But you could just use the adapter permanently if you wanted to.
