Got it finished and went for a short run. well, by finished I mean mocked up enough to drive it and test my setup. Went out with a pair of 4s 3600 lipos in series, and the power was great. Had some weird handling issues, and the twin brake setup is not liking the stock tranny output hex, I need the longer ss one. Found that the handling was due to a shock not attached to a lower are, and one tire was coming off the bead on the inside of the rim. Otherwise everything went well.

The great planes esc has a soft start up, not really bad, and some trim adjustment got rid of that almost. Esc did not really get much more than warm, motor was warmer, but not hot, and the lipos did not change. Run lasted about 10mins and was not really heavy throttle. Tranny shifts a bit too soon, but I can change that.

Very happy with this, and once I get the twin disk brake working right it should be fine. I will get some pics up tomorrow. Still need to make a final esc mount, and tidy up the wiring.

Any ideas on a good, cheap bec that can handle 10s lipo? I would prefer that to the receiver pack...
