Literally the truck will wheelie at 35mph+ no problem despite the extended chassis, center diff (leaked out a bunch of its 100,000wt oil), and near-12.5lb weight. The shape the front tires achieve is just unreal.

However, the motor does tend to get a bit on the hot side, I think upwards of 160 deg. F. ESC and batteries hardly heat up, and the truck is geared for ~45mph. Could it be this motor is undergeared? If so, all I have to say is
Not to point fingers but my emaxx has been running since november...

So the 80mm gets warm. I guess try to gear it up... I will be interested to see what happens.
