Hey Guys and Gals,

Glad you liked the truck. Yep, Mike did all the spanner work on this one, as time was a bit of an issue.

This is my first set of Lipos, so being a little careful right now. Run times are in the 15 to 20 min bracket with the 3200mah packs. With moderate use. When I say moderate, its because most of the time you cant even go anywhere near WoT.

I was just saying to Mike that when the new race season starts here in Feb, I will probably go to 4s, as the 6s is really a wild ride.
The top speed is nice, but the torque is just insane on 6s.

Temp wise, the motor is fine, but the controller is gettin a bit hot. It has never thermalled on me though, and remember its my summer here in Australia, and I live in Queensland. For the Americans I get temps outside around 100 to 110. So if its not thermalling ..im happy :) Will fit a fan at some point though, just to play it safe.

I wish I could post a video of this truck in action, but dont have a vid camera right now (decided to buy a truck instead :) ). I'll see if some of my friends have one I could use.

Tambo
