I'll keep an eye on them!

Time for nuts! Lots of nuts!

Here's how I put them on: I use a long 3mm screw and spin the nut on the end. Then position on the chassis holding with pliers or my hand. MIG carefully to avoid damaging threads!

It's cool, I like RPM stuff and this one is less likely to bend. I'm sure it'll get destroyed either way with the way I drive. ;)

I had to guess on the motor using what I've learned from my current summit tranny'd truck. The 5T puller is around 2000KV. The Tekin 10.5 is around 3480KV, and being sensored there shouldnt be any cogging issues. If it's too slow, I'll just swap the motor out for an 8.5...

Thanks everyone, glad you like it!

I'll be putting some time in today onc eI get back from brunch. :)
