Your first BL?
 

What kind of car/truck and what system? What batteries?

Mine was a rustler xl5 with a sidewinder 5700 system on 2s impulse 3200 lipo. Such a fun truck. Needless to say it got a lot of use.

Mine was a Tamiya Gravelhound DF02 buggy with a kontronik twist55 (5500kV) and a kontronik jazz car 70 ESC.
Batteries were 6S NiMH 3300mAh pushed and matched by hopf.
Were good batteries back then, but still only ~10mins of runtime.
And the Tamiya drivetrain couldn't cope with that kind of power for too long.
I'm still thinking of getting a full metal drivetrain von tobee craft and put the kontronik system back into that buggy after I got it repaired (magic smoke went out the ESC a while ago), but this time with 2S lipos.
Would be fun to shock some of the "nitro is so superior"-guys with my cheapo elo-tamiya:lol:

5-6 yrs ago I bought the newly released Associated 18MT with the first Castle Mamba25 and my first Lipo was a ThunderPower 2100 2s that cost me $140.00 !!! OUCH
The truck was pretty cool for what it was, diffs blew constantly but I had fun w/it.

Put a Mamba Max 7700 system in my old HPI RS4 and I was hooked!

I had the original Traxxas Rustler with the 20T Stinger motor and Mechanical Speed Control and went straight to the MM 5700. With the same gearing and batteries (GP3300 6 cell pack) I picked up 10-20 MPH, doubled my run times, and had seemingly unlimited torque. That was enough to have me hooked!

mini-t, mamba 25/8000, 3s, Nothing but brushless since!

Original Emaxx that became heavily modded.... Running a 9L and BK18120 on 12, 14, and 16 NiMh cells. Them moved to a 7XL Wanderer.
