Yeah, that aluminum feels pretty light in the packages, but all assembled it sure does add up!!

With my C50 motor and my smallish backyard track I was getting pretty close to 1/2 runs a couple of times, but now since I've added a triple jump that needs some speed to clear my temps are getting up there on the esc. The motor was at about 158f and the esc was close to the same on the heatsinks. The motor seemed fine at that temp but the esc shutdown for a little while.

My main concern for runtime is not overheating the controller, I guess 1st I'll try a fan on the controller I have now. I can always get bigger batteries, but if they will only run for 5 minutes it doesn't matter! Maybe i'm just wasting my time on this thing and should just stick with the Revo...
