Friend of mine got his preordered from castle, but he doesn't have a truck to run it in yet. I do. :) Just soldered it up, and dropped it in. FYI, you are going to need a BIG iron (60w min, I used 80w) to make up those 6.5mm bullets.

So this is in the flm emaxx pictured in my avy. Geared 19/66 with 6S A123. Ran pretty good, but the pack was brand new (1st run since I assembled) so it dumped quick. Put it back on the charger, geared up to 22/66. Cranked way down on the RRP slipper and hit it. Man, does this thing cook. Gearing estimate is 40+. The 6S1P pack was fine, no problems at all. I don't really see a need for 2P unless you need the runtime. Freakin amazing torque. Whips the wheels up with no problem. Temps after running: motor 160, esc 109, batts 120. A few more runs to wake up the pack should be good. Can't wait to get out to the bash spot with this.

Actually, can't wait to drop this in my Hyper 7!
