Just raced it tonight for the first time. Ran fantastically. Tons of power - though the motor was a bit hot (180f) after a 7 minute main. The ESC stayed fairly cool at about 125f.. Batteries were great and stayed under 95f all night. Capacitor and CCBEC stayed very cool (under 90f).

I'm thinking of gearing up one or two teeth on the pinion to cool the motor down a bit.

The batteries seemed to perform very well. I didn't have the chance to check actual run-time as I was re-topping-off between qualifiers.. but it stayed very cool under some pretty hard racing.

We shot some video of both buggies. It should be posted up within a day or two.
