not the greatest video but about 2.5 mins of playtime at a electric series race over the weekend. ran the MMM during the heat of the day today on dry-track too! was quite impressed with the speedo handling the heat, traction, and my horrible driving that day...... only four cars including myself and another track local included. kinda shocking since the track hosting the series race usually has two heats of electric 1/8 scale, andonly two of them showed up? needless to say i was the only castle user there.... nobody wants to run their novak on 3-4s on a larger track?

anyway i drove the setup pretty hard on the semi blue groove surface and suprisingly temps were only about 10-20 degrees higher than normal. didnt chang any settings on the MMM and got:

MMM ~135 on the heatsink through the case but fan was running
motor ~160
battery ~110

used around 2200 mah per five minute race, alittle higher than normal but expected. still running the 3200xp's would like to get some of the 3300ep's (and an eagle tree) soon but work has been slow for the last couple of weeks. ok time for a dumb question, anyone seen the trinity lipo warmer? (140deg. F constant) what the hell is that about? dont think i would run a fully charged 140 deg lipo in my buggy. yet...
also how do we all feel about saddle packs? used them before in 4w 1/10 but seems to be popping up more.
