hey aqwut,
is the hobbywing esc the Pentium model? that is the only HV version i can find for $100 but its a airplane/heli esc. is that the one you are using?

Yeah, I'm using that ESC, but i have a PiStix adapter with it and using the mechanical brakes.. no motor brakes at all...... What's your final drive ratio?.. mine is currently 8.42:1 @ approx 16K RPM..
The most that I have tested was 7.36:1 @ 16K RPM. I haven't tested any higher gearing yet, so for now the ESC can run safely (on Grass)...

38Lbs @ 53 MPH on 12S5000mAh....
