It's been nice reading everyone else's input to their .5 builds. The motor and gearing issues of particular issues. I've been running 12t/46t with the 4600 on 3S and it does tend to get on the warm side in the 160-170 range after 15 min or so on the track. Then again my shell is closed with no air flowing through so that could be a big contributor to that. We'll see as I will head to the track today with the new 2.2 Snake Eyes truck tires installed. I've also put a heat sink on the motor. The RPM receiver box is a new addition that now safely houses my rx and UBEC.

New Shoes: Proline mounted on Associated GT2 wheels.










With the added rotating mass of the truck tires I can now do this!

I'm off to the track this afternoon to see how the new tires work there. Report to follow.:027:
