    the toro and tenshock motors are similar but they arent exact copies of eachother. the toro motors had bigger bearings at the front of the motor. and like t4 said a lot of the big name companies probably have similar motors.

    Looking into brushless combo for my little bro's losi desert truck. If you aren't familiar with them they're pretty much a xxx-t made to look sort of like a trophy truck. Looking for something a bit less powerful than the sidewinder SCT and hopefully a bit cheaper. Right now I'm thinking the duratrax element would be a good choice. The tacon and hobbywing and etc are all out of stock and/or sketchy. Anyone gots any idears?

    Thanks

    I thought about it, but this is currently in Huntsville - Don't even have it down at the beach. Thanks though.

    Thats right down the road. As for the color scheme, I originally wanted to go all black, but decided to do the two-tone thing.

    Where abouts?
