Hi mate,

The enduro is for 6 hours.

We provide a handout RS540 motor for the event. Extra motors are available if required - however extra motors carry a penalty ....best to try and make that motor last.

I'm sure there will be plenty of irons to go round. I'll have mine fired up that u can use. But in if we're getting in the vintage spirit someone better bring a butane soldering iron that doesn't get hot enough and runs out of gas halfway through the job

If you were true hardcore vintage guys you would be using the standard bullet plugs that come with the motor!

Can you hook a 2 wire 540 up to a 3 wire esc? Just use wire A and B ?
Cheers
