update:

since i love to "toot my own horn", check this out

the lightest cvds produced for the T4 are 6.5 grams each. i just finished one of my custom ones and it is coming in at about 5.5grams.

i relaize that is only 1gram, but its a total of 2 grams of rotating mass and NO ONE LESE HAS ANYTHING LIKE IT..
lol nice! You should enter your truck in the highest speed competition next year! I bet it'll beat at least one TC!

havent done any speeds runs lately. i am in the process of packing stuff up and moving to a new house, so it will most likely be march before i run.

tc4 wheel nuts are the same as rear t4 and i want to say those are 8-32

I'm still yet to radar my lipo/bl xxx-t. I just have to find when the police are at the lhs. Theres this police guy that sit outside my lhs on the nights he works and he friends with the people that work at the LHS so we're going to have a top speed run with my xxx-t and their mini.

i am afraid that my rc is curently pretty dead right now. after moving to the new house, I have kept myself very busy doing small improvements everywhere and now with the baby...rc has fallen to the bottom of my to do list. hopefully i will get a chance sometime to do some speed runs, but nothing yet.

i did do some quick searching and it appears there exist no better mechanical parts for the t4 than what i already have. just need to consider radio and power plant. Guess i will need to research castle speed controllers and motors.

CC is still at the top of the game. The new Mamba Max Pro is rated for 6s whereas your old MM is rated for 3s.
The Neu motors are nice.

Aye 4 years in the future and technology has moved on. Dump the 2s setup and go 6s with a custom made lightweight 6 cell pack. Use a low KV motor for efficiency and gear it to the moon.

Radio, batteries, and powerplants are the biggest change since back then. The new stuff is great and the prices are alot lower now.

MM is rated for 4S and CC is not at the top of their game.

The MM is a fantastic speed control and should be legendary...the MMP is a giant steaming terd of crap that poops the bed when used on 2S in a 4wd SCT with a high draw servo.
