Tekin is probably the fastest ESC on the planet right now, RS listed below (Pro model is another $30)

Or Old reliable GTB.

Or you could get the Mamba Max, with a Fantom 17.5 for just under $200 Us.

how did you guys get the lipos to fit in the t2.. mines to tall.. by about a 1/8 of an inch..

and does anyone have one of those plastic stick on protestive sheets for the bottom of the chassis??

hmmm..i read somewhere that you had to space the upper deck up, but i took the top plate right off and in orer to get the lipo in, the top deck no longer holds the steering pivot..

if i put the lipo in where the nmh bat goes, the top of the lipo is the flush witht the top of the top deck..?

Blake · September 17, 2009, 08:16:30 PM

Your LiPo must be taller than the TrackPower. The TrackPower will fit without shimming up the top deck, as long as you grind away the extra "tab" on the aluminum bulkhead.

You may be in a must-shim scenario, so you'll have to get creative with the steering bellcrank.

i think ive figured out how.. i need another one of the bellcrank holders/ecentric that slides ino the top deck, then glue that one to the other, and it will make up the differece in height, and keep the steering geometry the same as it is now..then its still easy to switch back, just drop in the un moddifed holder..

then i just need to find some small diameter thick washed to move the deck..

would spacing up the top deckchange any of the handlin characteristics??
