2650 on 5s hotbodies lightning street 1/7 (hehehe)

Hmm, I bet that would be a fairly popular item if Mike made a 46T version (or a way to bolt up a plastic or metal spur to it). A CD is good for racing, but the benefits are almost nonexistent for bashing...at least IMO.

I guess I got used to it with the revo that I ran with the 2 speed, and the savage too. With the savage I set 2nd gear to engage quickly, must have been at 10mph or so. This helped the air hv esc I had start easily, but it shifted before I had much speed. This seemed to help alot. I remember the revo would do a back flip when it shifted if I did not anticipate the shift and back off slightly as it shifted... I have a feeling my 1/7 scale will be a handful... Going to run a 1521 1y on 6s2p 4500 30c cells (thats right, 9000mah and 270amps cont), geared 25/42 in second for starters, then move up to a 30t pinion...

The 25/42 gearing should do about 80, and if I step up to the 30t pinion I may best 100mph. Not sure if the 1521 and a MMM will do that though...

On a slightly related topic, what rcm motor mount do we think will fit the LS? Maybe the lightning buggy mount?

This is just much easier - slots into a diff and costs under $5!
