Got some running in today. Front diff is still shot so only rwd for now. Speeds were estimated in the lower thirtys. Temps for the motor and esc were both about 120. I'm going to put some thermal grease on the motor between the heatsink and get a fan for my mamba max, so I may be able to gear up. The front diff working might heat things up though, so I'll wait and see what it does.

I had several battery ejections due to crappy straps. I'm working on fixing it. Some of the ejections were on cement, but I put another layer of heat shrink on it and there's no visual damage.

I also experienced quite a bit of "cogging", but I think that was because my batteries were low in my radio. I'm under 10v now.

One problem I may have - My rear diff is "loose". Everything is installed as it should be but if I wiggle the outdrives the diff moves with them. Should I be concerned?
