Losi 8ight-T & TP4070 (40x102mm) motor

Hi,

I love that build, looks awesome. That long TP looks cool, too. I am glad that these motors are becoming more popular. I have a smaller 36-74 sized 2000kv motor, which worked very well: copper from front to end, long rotor magnet. The other one is a TP-V2-4050L-7D, with 1750kv, where I still search for the right timing and settings, as I miss a bit of power. Overall quality is much better then with the Leopard motors, and I like them more then the Tenshock.

You should try out a torsen differential in the center, like that you don't have use such heavy silicone oil, you get about 80 % of the power to the rear differential.
Unfortunately, the ofna/hobao torsen diffs (the other brand name I have forgotten) are a bit hard to find. A while ago some torsens were available at the LRP shop.
The losi smart diff did not hold up well and doesn't lock that hard like a torsen.

that trick with the fish line is great, I have to try that out! Hate taping tires too. Do you have kinda long time experience with it?

To avoid the voltage sag, you can put two (smaller) lipo packs in series, means extra weight, but more available energy as well.

Excellent!!
