I'm not there this sunday sadly, have let Muzzy know but if you speak to him can you check he got my message?

Thanks for the advice on this, may go ahead and get the electrical side sorted now and see if any new cars are about in a mth or so, from the current crop though think it'd be the Ve8 to try!

Sorry there are more questions:

Are the standard castle wires long enough, or did you solder extra length (is it 10awg) in the middle? Looks from pics I've seen like the motor end of the wires is fixed in so can't be changed..

If I have a 138mm battery, will I have to dremel the motor shaft somehow or will I get away with a thin sheet of something protecting the cell if it moves instead? How easy is a motor shaft to dremel?

Cheers Guys!!

Standard wire is 10awg and the length is just right with a bit to spare.

Im also using 138mm lipo and yes i would really reccommend grinding the shaft down - its pretty long anyway, dead easy to do jut use a barrel grinder on a dremel or similar.

Do these come in over whatever the weight limit is?
