I got an update and a video for y'all. It is a quick one-handed video with no editing, so sorry for the bad quality. It will give you an idea of how the ST-1 runs, though. I was using the A123 packs without the turbo boosts. The center diff is filled with 50K oil, and the front and rear still have factory grease in them.

As for the turbo boost, y'all may have been right about them. With the turbos on full boost, the truck was only 5 mph faster than without the turbos installed. Plus, they got really hot after only a few high speed runs. I may have got a bum set, though. I'll contact A123 Racing to see what they say. Even without the turbos, though, the packs alone work great.
After about 15~20 minutes of running, the quark and batteries were warm, but the neu was too hot to hold my finger on it. I'm not sure why, though. Any thoughts from y'all? The gearing was 46/16.
I also noticed a weird quirk with the quark. Sometimes after a full throttle run, I would loose throttle control until I tapped on the brakes. I don't think it was thermalling, because it never felt hot.
