RE: Tired of things breaking
How is the Tacon motor working out. I have had my eye on one for a while. It looks like a great motor for the money.

I like the integy stuff too. My traxxas and Integy Aluminum have been great.

So far the tacon has been great, at least for the 30min that I was able to run it. Great speed, and minimal coging with the MMP. Motor seems to be of a decent quality, and you can't beat the 25$ price.
Forgot to mention that geared 18/86 I've yet to break the 100 degree thresh hold with the motor, and it does 40 the way that I've got it geared now!

I just had my Slash 4x4 up at the local track for the 1st time and I was able to keep up with the Losi minions (I say minions because I thin even their socks said Losi on them).
I was running on stock tires that are by far not the best choice for this hard packed clay. They could take the corners a lot smoother than me, but they weren't blowing my doors off.
