Just to bring things upto date:
Stock 3908 aint got sh!t on this baby..
27/62 for 45mph on 5s lipo.
Forgot to take a picture when I was assembling it, but you can see the 6 metal slipper pads in there- they aint gonna crumble apart in a hurry.
Got myself a nice Turnigy neckstrap/ lanyard for £5- balance of the controller is perfect so it stays near enough level when you take your hands away
