Hobao don't sell a 2wd stadium truck. Only the 4wd. The newest version has an upright servo. The old one has the servo on its side. The oldest model is the one with red springs and dish wheels. If you need a 2wd stadium truck I'd look at the Schumacher storm ST2 or the Xray XT2.

A max8 G2 combo would be a good middle price option.

One reason I really like deans plugs is that the flat plate makes it easy to solder a wide range of wire gauges on and solder two wires on for parrallel wiring. However as @m4inbrain says, if you can't be certain you've bought a genuine one its all a waste of time.

Lots of parts from the RC8B3.# will fit. The second half of the manual is very good for finding part numbers. Similarly AE's website usually says if a part number has been superseded by something else.

24/7 access would be the biggest selling point for an indoor track. I don't know of anywhere else that has that indoors.

Makes the upper links longer at both ends of the buggy. On the front use the outer hole on the hub. On the rear use the lower outer hole on the hub. Use the upper hole on the shock tower for the link. Once you've made the changes above, you'll need to reset the camber. You can also try running a longer wheelbase at the rear. What the changes I've shown are doing is making both ends of the buggy roll less, it will reduce the grip but should allow the tyres to slide over the surface rather than biting in.

The aftermarket has been offering similar bodies for some time. The new heavy duty front hubs look good, hopefully they'll fit the other 2wd vehicles.

From a first glance I thought this would be a fast/trial vehicle like the RC4WD Miller Motorsports 1/10 Pro Rock Racer. Looks a bit stilted in the videos that have been put out.

Both of those batteries should be recoverable. Put them on a 0.5amp balance charge and then check the internal resistance, page 23 of the T100 manual. Depending on the pack size it should be below 10 milliohms per cell. For the lipo alarm, the generic ones from ebay are pretty good, the main issue is the balance lead can pop off so make sure you secure the wiring.

After sitting at the bench for bit I've decided to do a super stretch mod to my traxxas rustler 2wd. Simple affair with some ali stock extending the main chassis plate. Inspired by this build from The JANG many years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNGptgxrhFI Currently I'm thinking of buying a 1/10th scale or 1/8th scale roll cage, probably from a crawler and then fabbing some lexan pieces to create a bonnet and nose. Aiming to look like a tamiya wild one or HPI Baja. Does anyone have any suggestions for a donor car that has an ideal roll cage?

I know you said 4wd but I would buy this if I had £250 to spend. Or I would save an extra £50 for the MT10. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/145361636104?hash=item21d83a8b08:g:hlgAAOSwSMJjhOM~&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4Pg9j1rmKmRC6TEjwtpCr97PHyOP6FKuqHlrmxayLlnLvUJ5nt1E%2FtY55Ld298zNxNqyMMsEOEjGubcMJ0Tk7nlHF4WuG%2F5EtzI03ne9BedpgDWsSTqiKLM%2FRqxnl8XofChKFZk5Oj%2FFqzs0zcslU5WxJOrmraW7cHYhttH%2Bbt%2BwYzTvIbwodgfLOtHDHroTyl0qi%2FYacs%2Fs9cCo%2BtxEDlnXkXjPufdBgUDk4jvSZCggpWnNO%2B4Tiv6Wnt9AAeXVnhGv4oqALWpexpnz9Pm6NUHYDB32p7yWIqABudSS6s1W|tkp%3ABk9SR9aYwIDyYg

https://www.rccaraction.com/brushless-motors-turns-vs-kv-rating/ This site has a rough conversion between turns and kv but its not exact. I'd also look at an additional fan for the motor if you're going to run an entire pack at a time rather than 5 minute races. With 4WD the car will create quite some heat and a buggy shell doesn't let air through for cooling. This is the part with a fan mount for the 74.1, not sure if it fits the previous model. https://www.dms-racing.com/spare-parts/spare-parts-for-associated/low-profile-battery-posts-fan-mount-and-esc-tray-ae-b74-1-detail

My suggestions for a budget electronics set.

I also run one of the surpass motors and a few CNHL batteries, again pleased with them.

Interested to get your thoughts on this. I love the look but most of the reviews online are either the paid kind or from people who seem a little too tamiya if you know what I mean.
