You said you were on grass when the temps were high Maybe all your runs were on grass, dunno, but I suspect the grass was the culprit. Any setup that is dialed on dirt or asphalt will usually run hot on grass. Even though it's a big powerful 5th scaler, grass is just rough on r/c stuff.
Kulang-
No offense here (just stating my opinion),but I hated the video. There were no "fluid video" shots. Just a slideshow. There is a bit of artistry when you add stills to video, in moderation. To me it seemed you tried to hard to make it a good video with all the stills, and should have left some of the meat and potatoes. Just my opinion. Either way I was happy to see the big guy in action, I just prefer real time video......

thanks man,
the truck has been a blast! it is fast and tough as nails. it leaps like no other RC i have. it just flies off the jumps. i still havent had a run til the LVC kicks in. i have run for as long as 35 min and never run the batts down yet. the temps are doing fine. i can get them up in the 135 range after about 20 minutes of running at the park but like you said off the grass it would probably always stay cool. the hotter temps are always when i am on the grass. i just thought because it was so big that the grass wouldnt affect it like it does my 1/8 stuff.
i still havent mounted the brakes. they are ready to go and everything i have just been lazy and have been having fun running it. in fact, that is one reason i run it on grass. it slows down much quicker so i have a lot more confidence to get it up to speed and not worry that i dont have brakes. i will post pics as soon as brakes go on.
i was going to do a baja for my next conversion but i have changed my mind. i am gonna save up and get the MCD EVO Ultimate and do a conversion. its gonna be sick and i cant wait. the MCD has an almost identical driveline the redcat so the gearing and motormount work i have done should work out fine. cant wait.
scroll down and check out the pics:

in regards to the video, Kulang did an amazing job with the content. i am guessing he had maybe 5 minutes of uninteresting footage and was able to make a 3 1/2 min vid that was pretty compelling. had we been able to actually film for an hour and get some good footage of course things would be better but i can assure you, had you been with us when we filmed for 5 minutes, you would be amazed too at the end result he produced.
