A few updates:

I fragged my LMT.... :(

I was running very hard in the grass w/ the 18/46 gearing. I should have changed it first, but thought I'd just go for a quick spin and pushed it too hard for too long. One solder trace melted (its not a hi-amp version) and the truck stopped. I fixed the solder traces, but the motor is still cogging. ESC os fine, so motor will need to get repaired....dammit.

On the upside a have a 540 12s that I put in, and so far so good w/ it. Much less TQ than the LMT, but that might be ok given just how powerful the LMT was. The feigao is fast enough but not so wheelie prone.

I also went up to 10K in the diff, 3K diffed out badly. I'm working on doing Go-ride's .5 shock mods bc the shocks are really lacking. Hopefully I'll get it all together for the little RCM mini-bash on June 8th @ barnstormers. Should be fun to run against some other BL CRTs.
