Good point. If only CC had an RPM limiter built into their software... Hopefully with the rear having more punch control, wheelies won't be an issue. Although a torque limiting setting would be ideal since punch control will limit mid-air control.

Great project. Lot of work and setting. I keep my fingers crossed!

It will be a lot of work to get it set up properly, so I too am hoping it will work well! (otherwise it'd be somewhat of a waste of time/money).
One current concern of mine is the strength of the stock diffs. Sike has been having issues even with the Hot Bodies 10/43 diffs (or at least the bearings). I might have to try out the buggy diff conversion, which could actually help because then I could use a smaller motor with a higher kv (it's been difficult finding a motor with ~500 kv, that's not too big).
For the stock Revo diffs, here's what I'm looking at for two motors:

I work there, so I should be able to get both motors for ~$100. On 5s A123 and the stock diff ratio (37/13), it should reach ~45mph, which is perfect for beating the nitros.
If I were to switch to buggy diffs (43/13), a motor of ~540 kv would be suitable, as would a motor of ~610kv for the truggy diffs (43/10)
