No you're not.

Some bashing this morning with the new 3S lifepo4 Turnigys. It's pretty much like running 5S lipo. But unlike lipo, the discharge curve of the lifepo is more progressive close to the end of the cycle. I mean that the packs don't dump suddenly like my lipos do. So after about 8 minutes (I didn't time it precisely) the power started to be less, like 4S for about a minute. Then it started to drop down even more, that's when I brought the truck back. The packs were slightly warm to the touch. Back on the charger, my CellPro showed 10% charge left. My lipos give me full power until the LVC kicks in and when I put them on the charger, they show 2 or 3% charge left in them.
Personally, I wouldn't use these lifepo for racing, I would rather have full power through the whole discharge that lipos give. But for bashing and having fun, the lifepo is awesome. No LVC, no puffing, recharge very quickly at very high rates and tough as nails.

One last thing, the water proofness of the ESC and servo proved to be excellent again and the double party balloon on the batteries kept them bone dry again.

I mounted those Mashers on the Axial wheels. I also put a little paint in the recesses of the wheels to give it a unique look. My F0rd F650 body will be red so I have a set of wheels with red accents and my son's F650 will be blue so a set with blue accents for him.



The tires and wheels/tires are big. At 420 grams each, they are going to be the biggest and heaviest wheels/tires I have evr used on my ERBE. But I think they look sweet. Real Monster Truck like.



My son's wheels are going to look even better because they have blue accents which will match the blue hue in the chrome from the Ofna adapters.
