Put that mmx8s 1717combo in my cart on Amazon, will order it soon, will stick with 6s for a while, and run same gearing for a bit..32p/34s ...hope it pans out good, again thanks for the quick reply..got the car dialed in real good, straight as an arrow, and so smooth and quiet, almost scary, have let go of wheel over 80+ mph. Dumbo with gyro..
With the XLX2/1100, what pinion/combo do you suggest? HInt: I have a 29t spur, and the stock sour for a pinion. But if I have to buy I will. Thanks!
You tend to want to have the cap pack wires as close to the esc that you can get. I don’t have a good picture. But just take a razor and go around the wires and up and down in 1 or 2 spots to pull off the cover and just solder them together.
Thanks! That vid was helpful! I’m gonna solder 6.5mm bullets so I can remove cap pack when needed. I saw another vid on YT where a guy was using bread tie to hold the wires together!
Didn’t look very promising!
If you look at mine I solderd wires to my ESC with a connector so that I can disconnect it if I want. That's what the connector is in the pic .
Sweet Brian! That’s basically the look I was going for. That photo also answered another question that I was going to ask. Looks like you went M/F on the cap instead of M/M or F/F!Personally I think that would be fine to use the XT150's and 6.5mm's.....
The only thing I would suggest is to use male and female connectors, that way you can never plug stuff in the wrong way round..
And here's one I made earlier

Ouch! I’m sure you’ll get it all repaired and back out in no time.Been repairing minor parts of my Limitless today after a bit of a crash at a ROSSA event the other weekend with it.
Disappointingly I don't even know how fast I was going with it when I crashed as I wasn't running my GPS and I basically wiped out by/into the traps protection of a heavy traffic cone & sand bag. Over 100mph though without a doubt.
It basically turned hard right abruptly hitting a traffic cone which it punted and then flew through the air hitting a sand bag on landing followed by barrel rolling to a stop. Rear end took a lot of the impact hence the smashed up rear wing.

I decided to make some aero tweaks after the crash ~ first off was reducing the size of my front lip spoiler.

Below: I am most likely going to be running a different wing set up/design so to keep the rear diffuser rigidity I mounted a stand off bar between the supports for added strength.

I also went back to using the "F1 style" rain light part as I am mounting a bright white LED strobe light to it so that I can hopefully see the car easier at a distance. I did have a bike light on the rear but it just wasn't visible enough in the day.

Cheers.
Glad to hear! Little cosmetic damage, not so bad. The place I’ve been running is 4 lanes wide, but when you loose it do 80mph, it doesn’t end well. Guess you gotta pay to play!Cheers.
Tbh the damage is so minimal really considering how fast it was going. Checked it as much as I can visually, then ran it again to make sure it works as it should ~ for the most part it's just cosmetic damage.

Not my finest work, but I think it’s gonna work!Personally I think that would be fine to use the XT150's and 6.5mm's.....
