Well, I went ahead and tried a CC Mamba Max ESC and tossed the BK aside for repair. I pulled the BEC and and put it 14 cells. My impressions? :004: :027:

It ran really nicely and thru 2 packs it did not thermal. The Esc was running ~150, but the motor did get up to 160 by the end. It had been hovering around 140-150 most of the time. Some hill climbing, high speed stuff, running around in grass, and a bit of psuedo-crawling.

It was a nice little bash session, but nothing too crazy, I was just really testing the setup and the esc. The CC esc is absolutely amazing, what a little power house. I can't wait for the monster maxx. Before anyone jumps in, yes, I know it is running the ESC above spec. But I've done things like this before with success. I'm taking it easy on the esc, and so far it is doing well. I do have a 25mm fan I want to mount, but allelectronics sent me the 20mm fan instead, so I need to exchange it.

Top speed was somewhere just south of 40 I would guess. I didn't have my gun on me, but I did enough testing with the Rusty that I would say this is a pretty close number. The truck handles awesome. Much better than my maxx ever did. It was gripping well and would tend to slide the rear end out on most surfaces and only rolled at high speeds on high traction asphalt. Ac ouple crashes were a bit ugly. I really need to get a roll bar in there. :P I got a couple ideas.

The only real worry is the motor temps, it getting hotter than I was really expecting, so I'm wondering if I need to go down a tooth to 14t/51. Of course its the one I didn't buy... Could take a little pressure of the esc too which wouldn't hurt. The esc is really smooth and doesn't cog. The revo will wheelie with ease. I'll post some mroe pics later. Thanks to everyone, esp Brian for all your help.
