Had to spend a lot of coin to make it go... and still issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 16/03/10 01:34 PM Author Share Posted 16/03/10 01:34 PM that's utilizing the xt motor.prob easier to swap a long motor in (+ ECU).Is there a full write up somewhere of what needs to be done by RDP?
