Thanks guys.:)

Well it's official, I've done the first run! And WOW it is fast. The road was damp, so grip wasn't great but boy does it move out! I wasn't able to get hold of the guy who was meant to be videoing it, but a friend came over and recorded some clips on his digicam Sorry for the poor quality:

I was taking it very easy in those clips...I barely got above half throttle, it was so fast. Unfortunately CoolHand is right...after this run the rear diff started clicking and acting up. Luckily someone is working on a bullet-proof sealed diff for the Dagger so it shouldn't be an ongoing issue (the CVDs and wheel adaptors are still in perfect shape). Runtime was quite amazing...with the twin 4500Mah Elite packs, the truck ran for 15 minutes before we decided to go inside...and they still hadn't dumped by that point (according to my charger, they still had a good 2000Mah left in them). And as for temps...well the rear motor got to 128F which isn't too bad. It is a pretty cold day though.

Thanks for looking, and hopefully once the rear diff is sorted I'll get a proper high-speed video shot. Man, I love this thing!:018:
