Thanks eric!, will send it in later this week when i have time.

Anyways my parts came yesterday, installed them VERY LATE last night, and I did a slight test run today:)

PICS!!!:(Will get video this weekend most likely, and hopefully.)

(NOTE ENTJOLES'S MOTOR HEAT SINK CLAMP!)





I just need a battery mount now, been zip tying the lipos to the chassis through the flywheel hole. The screws that keep the mud guards on sheared through my heat wrap on the lower lipo, not good. Put a nice dent in the lipo in the process.

One slight problem though.
Even when running the receiver pack, I am experiencing the truck going "out of range" despite the fact that the truck isn't anymore than 100ft away. This worries me, not sure if it is the receiver, (probably is) but it's a problem. I got the receiver along with my DX2 a few years back and have been switching it between all my cars since. I guess it has finally died? Hm...i'll have to rob the hobby shop for a new spekky receiver soon LOL.

Even when just testing the setup in my small backyard and street, I am BLOWN AWAY, by the torque and speed it pushes out. Keep in mind i'm only running 4S and a Feigao 8XL. Now I couldn't even IMAGINE the amount of power those Neu's and 6S lipos are putting out...Compared to my V-Spec, i'd say there is a 30% power increase...NO KIDDING!
Already very happy as you can see....everybody should run BL...
