As you can see from the pics my J82 is built. Know in looking for a BL system for it. I plan on using my 7 cell nimh packs for know. I will get trakpower lipo's latter. So i was thinking about getting the sidewinder & 5700kv system or the MM & 5700kv system from castle. Im leaning towards the sidewinder system because of the low cost. Any thoughts ?.

I have just received RC10T4 Team and ordered J82 conversion.

@skellyo
I wonder how many titanium turnbuckles are included in conversion kit and what pinion are you running with MM 5700?

I am going to use SW 5700kv and 2S 4000mAh hardcase Zippy LiPo :)

I hope you have another toy instead :)

Do you remember number of turnbuckles and pinion size?

I have several . I think your going to want a pinion around a 20 or 21 to get some good speed . I tried mine with a 16 it was fairly slow, & i was using a very good lipo . . I personally would'nt worry about ti turnbuckles untill they bend or break . Two ti turn buckles come with the j82 kit . so you would only need 4 buckles . two upper turnbuckles & two lower tie rods .
