being my first "custom rc", there are a few things i had to learn the hard way. when i was tinning the wire, i just kept feeding the solder to make sure of good connections. i didn't realize i had tinned 1.5 of a possible 2 inches of esc wire going to batts. so i'm stuck with this location, but the wires are really stiff and have 3 or 4 layers of insulation around them. i also zip tied them away from the spur and coated the hole in the motor plate and esc mount in shoe goo, so it will be fine. thanks for the concern though.
coolhand, i have run it without a body and it flies. if i ease it up to speed on road rage 40's on asphalt, it will break the tires loose at 3/4 throttle with a 15t pinion at around 40 or 45 mph, and get really squirrely (not sure on spelling), so i havn't hit full throttle yet, maybe today with my finished body. everyone at my lhs drools over this thing. and i have already been challenged by someone with a supercharged revo. i can take him 'cause he can't control his off the line. so far i have rub it about 15 or 20 minutes at a time, and havn't even used 1/2 the capacity of the polyquest "twenty" 3700 lipos. i used 1150 mah with a 15-20 min. test. outside temp. was 93, motor and esc were 120-150f. what do you think?
