had this motor laying around and couldn't decide between this or the slot machine two but I think I will go with this one instead. not really sure what it is though.

A mod motor in that hornet is just silly. I'd stick with the slot machine. It will actually be fun with a decent stock motor but the reedy is a bit hot even if its a mild turn!

have come to the part where I need to put the rear diff together but it doesn't seem right and I don't have a picture of how to assemble it so does any body have a picture of the assembly of it??

Don't run the mod with that futaba speed control. If you do, take extra fuses.
