Wow impressed w/ the MMM combo in my 8t on 5s no less!

Well the other night I dropped my truck on the track and started my first qualifier and a couple minutes in she just dies (I was in first). I pulled it off she was stuttering like it does when one ESC wire is loose so I checked the connections and even swapped out the wires and nothing.. at this point I assume my Neu 1515 2.5d crapped the bed. I drive over an hour to race so I wasn't giving up! I keep a spare MMM combo in my tool box for just such occasions! Well I dropped it in quick w/ a 12t long shank pinion and was ready for qualifier #2 (~42mph), I took 1st by a mile and even did 10 laps in the 5minutes which was best of any truggy racer all day to my knowledge! (few buggy pro's did it) Well with that time I also got tq and started the main in 1st.. I pulled out ok got into a mess.. anyway I was battling to get back into first place and almost had him till my 5k 5s battery pack hit LVC! Mind you this is only a 12minute amain so I was very surprised, when it happened but I never adjusted for the added pull of the 1y vs the 2.5d :( I'll be limited my throttle to 90% next time or running my 5s 6k pack. Anyway the funny thing is even though I was at a dead stop for the last full minute of the race I still took 3rd place! I just sat right before the line.. and finished up. Fun night anyway this truck is super responsive and tuned nice for me now... wish I could get my buggy in line! I looked like a rookie driving that one during one of the heats.. but took 4th in the amain behind our local pro's which i'm a ways away from beating still. I will add though the pinion is pretty beat due to the mesh not being quite tight enough so I ordered up the 50t lightened spur and a new 12t pinion so I can get a real nice mesh until I get my 2.5d back from repair (if I don’t just sell it).

Here are a few shots.. wires all fit right nice :) Again very very happy w/ how it handled out there.. other than it being a "gas" hog! LOL
