Yeppers, I've had it w/ the nitro. It has its own sort of fun, but its such a PITA. Its always something. More than anything I've developed a special hatred for clutchbells. I can do the tuning, been ok w/ glow plugs, pullstart spring wore thin, but I fixed it....

Just a pain when I want to take it somewhere, have 30 min to play, then spend 15min getting it started, warmed, tuned then to just have the CB bearings blow up and end the day.

So yeah, I'm going to take that Mega I got from you and run it on 8S. 28K rpms is nothing crazy tho. Its a big heavy slog and I got better trucks to make speed demons. I am thinking about making it four wheel steering as well, just not sure the str rods will clear the TVPs, but we'll see. I saw you make the tvps and how nice they came out w/ hand tools, and at worst I may do that. I want to make a big burly MT to run over stuff and really offroad in the weeds and such.

How did the angle mount come out? I want something like you describe, but seems like I'd have to order alu strong enough to make a strong mount, and prolly spend $20 anyway. I don't want any bent mounts and the trouble they cause.
