The ever-changing list.. Decided to go with 2 2s hardcased lipos incase my track converts over to ROAR rules or so that I can race at Roar sanctioned tracks.

2x Enerland PQ-5100RXP-2S Hard Case Car Pack- $200

Deans Male Ultra Plug (2)- $3

Jconcepts Rulux Half Ups- $20

2x Pro-Line LPR XTR Bowties


Trying to decide on a servo, the Ace 1313
# Transit time: 0.13 sec/deg @ 6V
# Torque: 12.5 kg/cm (173.6 oz/in) @ 6V

Or the Overkill servo- JR Z9100S

Torque: 150 oz/in @ 4.8V, 180 oz/in @ 6V
Speed: .08 sec / 60 degrees @ 4.8V, .06 sec / 60 degrees @ 6V

Big price difference on the two. i like the speed though

Just a heads up, those battery packs arent listed on the ROAR website as approved as of now. So unless they get on that list they still wouldnt be allowed to race at an official ROAR event. Just dont want to see you spend the money on them and not get what you think you are getting. Here is a list of all ROAR approved batteries as of now. http://www.roarracing.com/approvals/lipobattery.php

Thanks Jhautz.

So why are they claiming that they are roar approved?






Truck is very dirty in the pics, will clean it later this week
HI RES PICS!

Could be that they are approved, but the ROAR list isnt updated yet, or it could be that they arent and whoever is claiming they are isnt correct. I would do a little checking before buying if you truly need roar packs.

[brushlessboy16]

Alright, ill look into it

Jhautz do you happen to have any spare front arms for the matrix?

[jhautz]

No, I sent them with my Matrix when I sold it. Dont think I have any sitting around.

I just noticed that aswell.

nice pics Ben!

Just wondering, but why don't you have the motor on the right side of the chassis and the battery on the left like most other conversions? Just seems like it would be a better setup, more room for the battery.

erm, cuz the original mount was on the left side of the chassis and i never had a reason to move it, and my battery placement is a whole lot closer to the centerline as is compared to it being outside the spur.
