I want basically the same setup in my Thunder Tiger ST-1 Pro (1515 2.5d,Quark 125, 5s, 46t spur, 13 or 14t pinion for racing)
I haven't ordered the batteries yet though. I was thinking 8000mah maxamp packs, but people have been saying that the truerc packs are good value.
Are these packs getting hot in your setup, do they seem relible? If they work well for you then they should work well for me.
The packs are just barely warm. one of the packs slid across rough blacktop for about 60ft, and in my lsp, the pinion came loose, and moved up against the lipo. the cells have indentation where the pinion rubbed, but so far, no problems at all..
at one point i was running my lsp only only one of the packs (40a constant), and it ran flawlessly. the packs balance pretty well. nothing but good things from me.

How does the motor and esc seem temp wise? I don't think the motor should be much of a issue, but I'm not sure about the Quark.
barely above ambient.. It's been in the 70's, and I can't tell if there's heat coming off of the motor or controller/heatsink. I'm not sure about the quark either. I did the mod before I ran the truck, so I can't compare before and after.

How does the run time seem? I'm wondering if I can get 25 minutes racing out of it.
idea. I havn't run it down yet. I've been running for 5-10 minutes at a time, and basically I charge them when I've had 2-3 runs on them. I need to get a good long session in to see what it is.

Sorry, one more question to bug you with. What weight diff oils are you running? I like that it diffs out a bit, but is still able to do wheel stands.
Looks like a good car and I hope keeps working well.
Thanks
I don't even know what diff oil comes stock... the truck now has 50k in the center though. when I ran it before I changed the center, the fronts would expand to 10-12"

They are also building a dirt oval track, a big boulder pile for rockcrawling and they are even talking about putting in a scale dragstrip. The dragstrip soulds cool. I think I could get into that.


The layout on the offroad track is pretty sweet, but the place still needs some clean up before its ready to open. Really dry and disty with alot of big rocks still scttered about. Killer bashing spot right now, buit not quite ready for racing yet. Its gonna be really sweet when they are done though.

I wount be out there this weekend, but I'm gonna tray and get out there the next sunday.


Oh yea... And yes the buggy ran sweet in the 1512.
