Yupp, small update. Battery pack was received on 6/25, so Monday of this week. 25 days total!

Balanced the pack and charged it up for the first time. No issues.

Had to modify the chassis slightly to fit the pack, it was bigger than I had planned. No big deal.

Changed the settings on the Quark to cutoff at 3v, set it to LiPo Normal, changed my torque back to the lowest setting, and outside I went into the 90/90 weather for a few tests in the street.

BLAZINGLY fast. The MGT is a big truck, and if I full-throttle the setup, the truck does a standing flip. You usually see this with the mini's, but the 1515 1/y with a 4s lipo flips the truck around like a toy. Full throttle can be attained by going smooth, letting it hit second gear, and then going SMOOTHER. At any point in the run, if you suddenly goose the throttle, the truck lifts up off the ground, and if you are really not careful, it flips over.

The Quark Air Master was about 122 where the leads come in from the motor, so I figured that was hot enough after the running in the hot weather. The motor itself was actually hotter than I thought it would be, 135 was the temps on the fins. Battery was barely warm.

No glitching, no cogging, nothing out of the Air Master but performance. As far as I can tell, without taking both units apart, the Monster Pro and the Air Master seem to perform the same, BUT, I have never owned a Monster Pro, I'm going off of what people say on the forums.

I will have a camera for the weekend, and then edit something together and have it uploaded somewhere early next week. It won't be long, I just need to show the torque.

While I was running, I had 1 person ride by on a bike and ask me if it was gas, and I chuckled and said no, they are too loud and slow. Guy said "yeah your truck is pretty fast for electric."

Someone else asked the same thing while walking by, and I said no again.

Then someone that lives across the street in some apartments came out to load their car, and they asked me the same question. He said that he has a gas car, which I have no idea how he could think mine was gas as it was not making any real noise or smoking, but whatever. I said jokingly, "can your gas car do this?", and I did a standing flip. His eyes lit up and said "not a chance".

I can't wait to get this video shot and edited for everyone, it's scary torque!
