And the important question - have you driven it yet?

In my opinion the use of the large aluminum spacer instead of tubular steel spacer gives the bonding compond/glue more surface area to better hold the magnet to the shaft.

I got the buggy out on the track this weekend and it ran very well. Temps looked good. Got around 20 mins out of a 5000mah 4s lipo.



Temp A = motor, Temp B = Battery

I had an unusual breakage this weekend. I broke the front inner hinge pin plate. The Losi hinge pins are captured and held by plastic plates on each end. I broke the inner plate and this allowed the hinge pin to slip out and cause the a-arm to fall off (and take the driveshaft with it). I can 't understand how this part would break, could have been from a hard frontal impact that pushed the pin back far enough to break the plastic part, but the front hinge pin plate (plastic and aluminum) parts looked fine, no bends.


Part is broken near the screw that is sticking out. The screw is sticking out because I was going to remove the plate but decided to take a few pictures first.
