Well I ran a pack through the monsters today(MMM/1515 2.5d/f) and I'm pretty happy with it so far. Waiting on my 25t pinion from Mike so I can really see what this setup can do. Running 54/20 currently and I have to hold it WOT pretty much all the time, only geared for about 33MPH, when I get that pinion I'll have options to go from 33-43MPH as long as temps allow me. I ran for 15 minutes in tall grass, no cooling holes in body, and no extra fans. I had 157* on the motor, 121* on the MMM, and 125* on Lipos. I'm hoping I can gear this up a little more and not increase motor temp much, with higher gearing I won't be full throttle so much. The fan never had to run on the MMM and it everything was super smooth. After a minute or two of running I found that it will still hang big wheelies. This setup is much smoother than the V1 MMM/8xl that I had ran in it 2 months ago. Only complaint with the v2MMM is the switch, if there's going to be a switch I think it should have a spot to mount it on the esc, I may wind up just gluing it on there.
