well the 5s1p 5000mAh battery packs arrived today, both of them. firstly i cant believe the weight difference even with 5s 123 vs the 5s lipo. the lipos seemed heavy at first then comapred to running 5s2p 123, they are 60% of the weight. i am so glad not having to run 2p anymore. it would be insane but would be risky because the cells are so high.

the power!!!!...even with 50% punch control... damn i even started slipping the clutch which i had to tighten. pick a rev and blip the throttle and the revo front is instantly skyward. where has this car been all my life. this is truly insane, the madness hasnt started yet but when it wears off, i see some 8000 or even 10000 mAh packs coming in the pipeline.

thanks again tdc and guys for the pointers. :P
