Well I got the front right drive shaft replaced with a new one and decided to have some fun again today.

I got almost two runs in. First run was on 4S2P of the 2500mah Sony 26650 cells. The run lasted about 30 minutes and was alot of fun. The Batteries were a little warm at the end of the run but did perform really well.

Second run was on 4S 20C 5000mah Lipo. I can tell the discharge curve is flatter and they hold voltage under a load better. Rolling wheelies, Rooster Tails of dirt and gravel. It's alot of fun. The hottest I seen the motor on 4S with this gearing was about 135 degrees. I can live with that. The thing is a Torque Monster and tops out about 40mph.

BUT.............back to the drawing board here. About 20 minutes into the second run, I discovered how to throttle it and make it get up on it's back tires and walk. It's really funny. I can save it most of the time too.

But obviously, I either got some weak factory driveshafts or this kinda thing is pretty hard on them. The other front driveshaft blew out the side this time.

I'm really happy with the ESC and the motor though.
