I just finished it tonight so no runs except for in my basement. Even with 100% punch control, it lights up the tires easily. Donuts are easy. Not sure how it does at high speed yet; if it's nice tomorrow when I get out of work, I may take it for a spin and get a small video.

Before I got the Medusa motor in, I threw in a spare CC 5700 motor I had laying around. It worked fine, but not as smooth as the Medusa and it heated up pretty quickly even geared as low as I could (45/14). The Medusa is geared 45/15 and never got even luke warm.
