Nice! Incidentally, what tires/gearing are you running? I might get brave and strap a GPS on mine one day...I just shudder to think of flipping the thing over and grinding my GPS 70' on the concrete!

I'm actually running tires and wheels from an Evader Pro BX, which are Pro-Line Wide Front on dish wheels in front and Pro-Line Bowties on dish wheels in the rear. I'm running 21:84 gearing right now. After running for a while with a 6cell pack, my motor temp was ~110F and the ESC was ~135F.

FWIW, I probably could have gone faster if I'd had picked a spot with more running room. I was driving it on about a 6' wide strip of sidewalk that runs around a park in our neighborhood. I only drove it about 200-250', gradually rolling on the throttle until the last second or two. With rolling on the throttle very gently and it never picked up the front wheels.

I was going to say.. 52 mph seems kinda low for that setup in a B4 and 9 cells. I drive 8 cells in my heavy (5lb rtr) rustler and it does 48..
