my motors got about 5K on it, so far so good. She ran rough as **** to start with but eventually came around. I love it, i love the cars and everything about them. just thought i would vent something other than anger and frustration to the board.

2K so far and doing damn fine. Started up no problem and purred like a kitten right from the beginning (I rebuilt with new rotor housings). Just finished new diff assembly install and rear end noise has disappeared. Really starting to like this one.
