Hey,

Novak are now doing a smaller cap for the speedo.



Lightweight Power Trans-Cap Module - 2S LiPo (#5678)

Might fit better for you.

Oooh that would help. I think I'm going to mount the ESC above the LiPo, it ran quite hot today, I used to get away without a fan on my B4, but maybe being more enclosed on the 22 is too much. There's no way a fan will fit as it is, I'm going to add a plate or something where the rear battery strap is. The ESC will be lower and there's space for a fan then.

If you've got them, small electronics are the way to go!

Here's a couple of photos of mine, certainly not a lot of space but there's always a way around things

Hi guys... I'm due to get my 22 next week and cant wait!

but few things i wanted to ask people in preparation for when I get mine...

Firstly, why are so many people wiring their car so that they squeeze their speedo and receiver together upfront behind the servo instead of mounting the speedo on the specially designed plate covering the motor (this is for the mid motor build - I'm from UK so this is what I'll be running). Having motor wires sprawled all over the car looks messy as apposed to the simple neat and tidy way of having short motor wires with the speedo at the back of the car! Is it for weight distribution or is there a problem with speedo clearance on the bodyshell if you run it at the back??? or is it simply because this is how all previous mid motor cars have been wired?

And also, I'm unsure of what electrics to get! I had to sell up a lot of my kit at the end of last year so I have the joy of replacing them for this years outdoor season with the 22. Last year I ran a 6.5 brushless motor with a Nosram Pearl Evolution, and Vampire 4400 40c Lipos and I found this to be very driveable and competitive. However I'm now looking at buying the Pearl Evolution Version 2 with the additional boost and feel settings as this is the latest technology... but do I stay with 6.5 turn motor and buy new Lipo's with a 35/40c rating or do I go down on the motor to a 7.5 turn and go for the newer 60c lipos that are available??? I've been told that 6.5 turn with 60c lipo's is likely to be too agressive and so will be a right handful to drive!

I would appreciate any advice that you have to offer.....

Many thanks, Jon!

Wacker! the main reason i believe people are running there speedo's up front is because your mtor gets hot and it will transfer its heat to the speedo! Well thats the reason mine is going up front.
