I have to say after driving it again today with both 2s and 3s lipos to compare them, 3s is just flat out nearly uncontrollable and is really hard on the truck, even with 40% punch control. I may or may not stick with 6S. I'm gonna up punch to 75% and try it again but once those tires start ballooning, control becomes a real issue. I've already notice excessive wear on the dogbones, drive cups and my front right wheel is starting to strip at the hex nut. All this from what I can visually see on the truck without taking it apart on only three 6s runs.

Edit: Holy hell! Upon further inspection one of the dogbone broke pins has broken off and one of the rear diff bearings blew its seal and is a complete mess. My next order at the LHS is gonna be an expensive one, grrr.....
