Well, the Revo is great! I was able to take it to the local 1/8 outdoor track today. It was a pretty similar layout to how it was about 9 months ago when I was last there, but a bit more technical. Before I left, I built my second 5s2p A123 pack. That way, I could run the truck and charge at the same time.
After the first few laps, I somehow managed to break the front left red aluminum P1/P2/LT pushrod. At the LHS there was only a set of steel ones, so I ran that. Once I got back, and got used to the track layout, I was flying through the track (relative to my lack of driving experience/skills). I went through 2-3 sets of batteries, about 30mins of runtime total. Toward the end of my time there, the MM ESC started thermalling, even with the fan still blowing air on it. However, there aren't any holes in the body except the mount holes and the antenna hole. Other than those two problems, all went well :).
