The LRP ESC has a pretty large footprint and just barely fits behind the motor. There is clearance, probably 1/16" or so between the ESC and motor. Is this going to be a problem?

Buggy was a lot of fun to rebuild. Now it's just waiting for a pack that I need to build. You can see the homemade front Al shock tower and Lunsford Turnbuckles. Tini shock shafts and a few more goodies. New Holeshot tires.

It should be fine. I had my sphere/neo combo in it for a while and it was fine. just a little cramped in there.

Cool. Looking forward to running it. Haven't run a 1/10 electric 4x4 buggy before. I am running a stock motor for now to get it under control. The ESC is good down to 13t motors so I can put a mod in there when I get used to it.

The LRP Sphere Competetion ESC is killer. Its probably the best brushless esc Ive ran besides the VXL. I used it with a Reedy Neo-4star motor and I could'nt have been happier with how it preformed.

So the Novak 7.5 system is not that good? That's what I'll be running next year.
By the way the car looks great Dale.
