Sweet, comp is where it's at!  XR-10's are very good rigs when built correctly with the right parts. Hurry up and get it together, VARCOR is having a comp this Saturday!  |

With a punk you only need 1 esc.

Instead of running a punk dig, I would recommend going with a wantasummit mix and a 2nd esc, it will give you much more control over a punk dig.

7980 uses a potentiometer and the 7990 uses a magnet, potentiometers can eventually wear out but use less battery power than it's magnetic counterpart. Other than that spec wise 7980 and 7990 are the same. Last edited by ROWDY RACING; 11-10-2011 at 06:33 AM. |

I suppose those will work if you want to twist plastic wheels into multiple pieces... Last edited by eagle1978; 11-10-2011 at 07:06 AM. |

 I think you would strip a hex in a plastic wheel before a servo would damage them, if you keep plastic wheels tight they can work just fine. | |
