I ran my Rising Storm with my Lehner Basic XL4200 and MGM 8012 on 6 cells for a couple weeks and had zero problems.
I've actually been thinking about buying a used SS5800 system just for the Rising Storm.
Diffs metal-geared, sounds good. Have you ever broken a shaft? Hows parts availability? Slim pickins for the df02 chassis at tower hobbies.
