I'm using a Mardave diff and good'ol fashioned NiMHs. Pretty old and worn out 6 cell stick packs too, 2200s which take just about enough charge for one race Oh, also using Contact tyres, not the ones that come in the kit.

You might struggle for traction if you were using lipos - heavy nimhs in the middle will probably help keep the weight where it is needed.

No, an old motor from someone's stash of old junk. It is silver and says RS540SH on it, so I think it is a Mabuchi.

But has 4 slots as opposed to the two slots that most silvercans have... Looks similar to the G2 that came with the Mardave kit, same 4 slot design. I don't know how many turns it has, I've used it in my tourer and it is slower than a 21T sealed can... I would imagine 23 to 25 turn... Next week I'll run the G2... Or my silvercan if I find it.

PS: Whatever you put it let's drag race down the main straight and compare. My Mardave weighs a tonne for what it is, the old stick packs weigh a tonne. Then again, I have this wacky theory that the weight makes it nice and mellow handling, the "chassis flex" suspension gets nice and supple over 900g

PS: Just found me silvercan!

I'll work on a few others, I liked the anti-clockwise circuit we had a while ago. And "Crossfire" types are fun too.

Crossfire was a great layout - would like another diagonal straight.

Cool what motor do you have in it? The G2?

I've just installed a silvercan in mine, if you are running the G2 I'll take my G2 as well
