Glad I caught this after it was cleared up that "bustitup wasn't completely serious! I have never been a fan of the v-twin setup, it's a waste IMO. I thought the point of converting to BL was that one single motor could easily out do 2 brushed motors. The cost of 2 VXL systems is approaching the cost of my Tekno Neu/MMM setup, is more than a MMM/XL series motor, and more than a MMM combo will be and any of those will spank a v-twin IMHO. The VXL combo isn't bad for it's intended purpose but the MM esc is much better than the vxl esc for the same task.

All that said I wish you luck Linc, not at getting it together, or keeping it together, but at keeping it rubber side down! At 20MPH I still can't punch it cause mine will be upside down! You had better get the wheelie bar and a brick for the front end!

Neil and Shaun showed me how to setup the vtwin, It was sick fun for 6 months, great n00b setup, for ease. Im sure a seasoned brushless vet would still enjoy it. My neus with neu 30c lipos dont take off as fast as that vtwin. From reading the traxxas tards trying it, they didnt spend the amount of time I did getting everything setup well. I took the pinions off and reprogrammed those escs 50 times a month until they started together by turning the throttle trim a tad. Long process and lame but it ran sick fast. Cant say I miss it but cant say it wasnt retarded fun and really shouldnt be dismissed. It does cost about the same as a neu MMM but seems not to when you start out scared.

No prob, I have plenty of experience with high speed r/c. Suspension setup is very important for speed runs. So is tire choice. Some "throttle modulation" is important.

All that said, my 10th scale speed car was setup well enough that I could open it up fully from a stand still and it would track perfectly straight and leave 3-4ft foam tire burnout marks. I only had room to get it to 74mph before having to get on the brakes...
