Sorry to hear of the troubles with your Alien stuff :(. Was really looking forward to seeing Godzilla Slash in action a bit more.

Hoped the Alien stuff would be a nice alternative 8S option, but given your experiences, I'm really leaning towards XL2 now. I read the concerns you mentioned of Ub3r on rcgroups, about the long distance between drivers and FETs, but it seems it's still the best option. Seems the reported cogging issues, like the one Othello posted here could be heat related, so with a bigger fan, in a ~4.5 kg car, and with a bit of luck :), I'm hoping it'll work fine.

Thanks for the XO-1 set-up as reference. I'm using 20k/10k (FR/RR) in my Truggy, but the 10k is a bit light and it seems to be leaking, probably due to getting hot. I also have some 40k cSt and 500k WT (Traxxas stuff, read someone reporting it to be actually thinner than his 300k cSt FG fluid), so I think I'm gonna rebuild the diffs with the 500k WT front and 40k cSt rear.

Hope you'll be wrenching again soon man, looking forward to seeing twin truggy updates :).
