Jeff - that was an awesome idea with the reconfiguration of the LMT - thank you very much!!

A little tricky reconfiguring the solder joints but I got it done and made sure the solder was nice an thick to avoid creating a fuse as per your old thread from last summer.

Went back up to a 17/46 (~39mph) gearing and with 4S pack measured peaks around 30 Amps just boogying around the house (whereas I would hit high 40s with the previously described config).

I probably won't get out for a real run until the weekend, but I am very excited with a setup that may work great and save me ~$500+ in the long run.

The big bummer is that my order for a Neu 3900mAh 3S pack just came in - don't know what I am going to do with it now, but maybe hang onto it for some ~30mph running around - probably get some long runs with it now.

Once I get a full run and can check the amp peaks and am sure this setup will work I then ned to find a nice 4S pack that will balance out well with the vehicle. The motor (230g), servo (60g) plus heat sink and fan come out to ~300grams. I had gotten the Neu 3.9Ah 3S pack cause it weighs in at 306grams and almost balances out the motor side of the vehicle perfectly. Maybe a NEU3200XP 4S (337.5g) or a TP3300 eXtreme V2 4S (351g) - both rated 25C.
