anything else
 

Just a q about my setup. I have decided to get a lehner 4200 and mgm120 for my losi xxxt 1/10th stadium truck:D . Are there any other hop ups or accesories that anyone would recommend in light of my brushless setup?

I am thinking of getting 7 cell gp 3300 or the IB 3600 (however have not heard much about these cells). :P: Side by side or stick pack??

I also wanted to know if there was a particular place on the chasis to mount the esc, e.g. rear shock tower, on top of the batteries...?

About the IB's i heard they are very good, better than the GP's (can be the 3800's, i don't remember.) they have got more punch and more volts under load.

About the controller;

I would keep it as far away from the receiver as possible.

I am also thinking about getting 24 IBC 3800 cells from Mike in about a couple of months. I need them for my next speed record.

In my xxx-t I just run it on the opposite side of the chassis in the usualy spot for esc's, plenty of room there. The usual hop-ups I reccomend are just titanium turnbuckles, titanium hinge pins, aluminum rear pivot block, and that should do it. The xxx-t is a pretty sweet truck, this picture of mine show's the setup I used.

Hey thanks for the tips, by the way re-mix photo is good. What shocks do you have? Also what batteries do you run in it??

They look like stock shocks with shocksocks.

stock shocks with shocksocks?? LOL Say this 5 times, makes me dizzy.

They are adam drake shocks, bought them new off ebay since I needed threaded and those were the spring rates I also needed. Currently I run 2400 sanyo matched packs, although I'm debating what new batteries to buy, the 2400's are about 2 years old, 1 pack 3.

So no shock stocks with sock shocks?

Whoa... shock socks work with any shock, although sometimes dirt gets trapped inside.. eek! But usually not

Another question. I am new to electric cars.

Is there much difference between flat packs (stick) and
side and side packs in terms of performance?

and Re~Mix, do you know if flat stick 7 cell packs fit the
stock tray of the xxxt?

Stick packs take up more room and are not as high quality performance wise. I'm also pretty sure that 7 cell stick packs will not fit in the stock tray, although 7 cells in side by side configuration should fit.

Even if you can't make your own side by side packs, im sure Mike here at rc-monster would be happy to help.

You need to know that stick packs can be soldered as well, directly, cell to cell, it has got a lower R than side by side, if build well.. the thin tin plates, used in cheap packs are worthless if you take a lot of A from them, but those soldered types are the real deal.

Hey Re~Mix what cell count do you run? and how do you find speed, acceleration?

True Serum, but they will not fit in the xxx-t.

Tonka- I run 6 cells, and I find the acceleration to be unbelievable and the speed to be adequate. 7 cells would be awesome and I'm sure i'll try it some day. If you're wondering about gearing on the 4200, I run 19/86.
