Lol when are you gonna toss that puppy on Claude?
Just haven't figured out what I want to put it on, I have to rebuild my MT but in order for it to work I have to change pipe. Same thing for the dbxl, the space between engine and Bartolone pipe is too tight. Probably just sell it if somebody is interested.

I have a Deans plug on mine but you can swap it out and use a banana plug if you want

Got my remote starter working perfectly! !
How about a walk around of your electronics? Where is the starter from? Is it using a belt drive? If it is a belt drive the distance of the pulleys from starter to crank can vary enough to relocate the motor for a MT? What about the kill switch if I kill from tx the rx has to be reset doesn't it?

Here You Go, here's my thread on it with pictures, also you plug it into channel 3 on your receiver and it runs for a bout 5 seconds max holding the button on your transmitter down, but it will disengage quicker by just releasing the button on your transmitter. And no you don't have to reset anything.

There is room to mount the battery on the opposite site of the car against the wall by the steering servo or you can mount it under the hood if needed

is the battery a 2S or 3S?
I use them both.

The motor is belt drive and its a Pretty Strong Motor, You could actually use it in a 1/6 scale Redcat Shredder and run it.

My son grabbed a third at a large scale racer yesterday with his Chimera. Stock except for a jetpro pipe, 7075 gear plate and drive cups and lay shaft mount. That thing screams with that pipe.
