I'm running mine on 4S until the MMM comes out. Runs well enough but a little light on the top end. Still as fast as the .28 nitro trugs tho down the straight w/ better accel.

I let Mike drive my ST and he was clearing a triple no problem. It didn't have the punch his did on 5S/2.5D, but it did the job well enough. In the races I didn't feel like I had a lack of power vs the nitros or other trucks on the track. I wasn't using high end batts either. I was geared for ~35.

Don't plan on basting down the straights making up time on nitros tho. You'll be pretty even. For me, it did pretty well as I wasn't as tempted to overpower things and crash and lose time. At my skill level right now that's a good thing until I am able to apply a ton of power usefully. That said I do have 5S batts coming lol.
Also, the revo just won't be as reliable as a trug if you put alot of power thru it. It may be wise to keep it manageable.
