I decided to make a run this morning on 4S. I was thinking "Wow, this is really doggy compared to the 6S."

Then I hit WOT in reverse for a few seconds and noticed it was much more powerful. Duh!

Now I feel stupid. The Throttle Channel on the Radio was reversed and it was running around programmed for 50% Reverse.

After swapping two motor wires and reversing the Throttle Channel, things REALLY came to life! Perfect on 4S! Motor temps well in hand with the fan/heat sink, but now the fan on the ESC was cycling on and off.

Well I had to try it. 6S! Now it's a different beast entirely. Tire Ballooning, rolling wheelies and increased temps.

Continous operation would overheat the motor. I'm going to enlarge the heat sink area on the motor and possibly add a second fan.

It will go from 0 to uncontrollable in about .5 seconds.

My run was cut short when a drive shaft gave up! Can anyone say power? LOL
