Yeah I am really grateful to have a nice big public space like that. Even though we are not really supposed to be there.

Definately need to go up on the gearing a little, that concrete path is a bit rough I think I will go up on the pinion 1 tooth. Sometimes I get it in the grass but some better tires and a step up on the gearing will get it where it needs to be, even when its super dry out there like that day.

It was really late last night when I posted those videos. Thanks for catching that spelling error.

AND, Yes I did break something but not quite what I expected.

When I removed the canopy I mean body, to my suprise I found one of the motor connectors off of the motor wire and small balls of solder on the motor can The damn solder melted. It was novak solder and 4mm bullet connectors. I think that possibly the connectors are a little too small or that the connector somehow touched the motor and shorted melting the solder??? There was good tension on the connectors and it had never happened before in 40 cycles of the battery. You could also see some discoloration on the male part of the connector from heat. I ordered some shultz 6mm bullets and will install. I did however repair the connection and have run the truck since. We checked the connectors after a run and they were warm.

Any experience from someone here?

Thanks for the comments everyone
