| I don't mind at all. Are there any tickets left for Utah? If I went it would have to be last minute.

I got my mambas all wired up. I opened the cases and bridged the on/off switch with solder. I also removed the white motor wires. The Rx antenna is tucked into its case. I set up my radio per Harley's thread. I'm loving it already...I can't believe I waited so long. Had some fun couch crawling, now I can't wait to get it on the rocks.

I just had the same batteries turn up in the post today! I wired two FXR`s the other day, but those micro`s look more compact. Whats the dimensions of two together like that? |

I've never said this about a cluster of electronics before, but that's a work of art... I am always trying to make my electronics look neat and tidy. And it does not get any cleaner than that! |

Thanks for the comments. Quote:
Together they are approx. 1.5"L x 1.1"W x 1.2"H They are similar in size to an FXR. It's nice not dealing with capacitors though. | |

Got the Avid bearings in. I got the standard 5x8x2.5 for the plastic side, but I replaced the flange bearings with 5x9x3. They are about twice as strong. Size comparison I used a round file to reem the holes out, it doesn't take much. All ready to go. I did some hard digs and burns out front, and everything is running smoothly. Now I can drive with a little more peace of mind. Pretty sure I have a bad knuckle bearing. I'll check it out when I get my VP knuckles in. |

Nice bit of tech gravy I like this option because I'm assuming that you don't need to mod the case or space out the motor like you do with the 5x10x4.
