A few little updates:

I added a 40mm fan on top of the esc and it is staying cool, but I haven't been able to go really hard on it yet. The motor got to 140 but the esc was only 115. Very good. The only prob now is I have some interference probs. I'm only getting about 70ft of range. I have the Rx where one of the steering servos was, so it may be too close ot the motor. Its gotten worse since thefan. Don't know if its just coincidence, so its just adding enough more int thats it wiggin the rx out. It tried a batt pack, so its not the ubec. I need to move it to the back, but need to come up with a mount that won't interfere with the shocks for easy service or getting to the slipper nut.

I also made a rollcage form the UHMWPE, not necc the prettiest, but it works really well. Very light and naturally springy so it won't bend. Need to prottect those expensive electronics! Will post pics when finally done.

Serum: somewhere I read that it was even 16 cells, but that was early testing, like ~1/05. I don't thnk it will have a prob on 14 so long asa it stays cool.
