Now to get you running with a brushless and LiPo! Even adding a LiPo and a lvc would make a difference!

yeah, I just wanted to get it running that night, but now I have a battery harness made out of some wire mesh that I cut out of an old ironing board and hard mounted the servo batt, and its working pretty well for me.

You're gonna fry that 20t on 12 cells.

to brushlessboy16, no, its not a tray, its like a metal sombrero that goes over the batteries and is clamped around the sides, with only 1 strip of ducttape this time...

and to BL_RV0, its ok, i got a spare! ive' run the one in there half a dozen times or so, no problem... and when the time comes that i do manage to destroy 2 motors, ill go brushless!

I think that is the way most of us upgrade.. Burn up the Stock stuff.. and go to the Significant Other(CFO) and say.. Honey, It was cheap.. it died.. if i buy THIS stuff. I won't have to again and it'll be better."
Works nearly every time.
