I haven't seen many others doing a rear brace... but I really like to have it, if I can find a way to get it done. I have run without it also without anything bad happening except maybe the motor sliipping a bit, but no doubt a brace at the rear makes it stronger.

As you have said, 1/8 buggies can see some wild action on the track. It's just a little something extra to keep the motor locked down tight.

I have heard talk about bracing the rear of these big motors, but I don't know if anyone else actually does it but me.

I hear you on the layout... a million ways to do things. It's looking good. I like how it's a bolt-on conversion and that you didn't just stick the battery on the side guards, but made a really good strong mount for it. I don't think you will see your $$ lipos come flying out or get smashed during a wreck...

When you get the ubec it may be tempting to put it up by the rx.... but some say they can cause glitching so watch for that if it's near the rx.

Hey, good things come to those who wait right? :035:
