Today is another extremely hot day in this heat wave we're having up here in the Great Toronto Area. So I took out the LST again in the same spot and let it rip on 6S. I over did it again as I blew the front diff after 5 minutes but I kept on going despite the loud clicking sound and at the 22 minute mark, I broke a front shock shaft. Good news is, the temps were great even though it is 40 degrees outside with the humidex.

Motor: 162
ESC: 134
Lipos: 109
Tranny case: 106
Front diff: 162
Rear diff: 141

So lesson learned here, when using the Top Speed Estimator, it is important to factor in the tire ballooning because since I didn't do it before,

I was geared to low every time.
