Almost 2 full battery packs through it and only have a broken body post to show for it. I haven't even had to install my aluminum knuckles yet, but I haven't cartwheeled it very much yet...only a couple of times.

Are you able to use bigger pinions or are you limited to only one size? My MLST with a 28mm diamete motor can only accept 27T pinion with a 54T spur.

I'm running a 19T pinion (45T spur) on it right now and could go probably down to a 15T or up to a 23T if need be. It's got a decent amount of adjustability.

That is cool. Are you planning on trying a 23T just to see what it does

I think I have up to a 21T for it, but I'll have to find a nice parking lot to try it in. It's quite tedious trying to get it up to full speed in front of my house as it loses traction very easily. I may be looking into getting a Bushnell radar gun soon, so I may have to actually radar it and see what it's really doing.

That would be cool to drive though. How fast do you think it's going now? I'm still thinking if I should put my Mega ACn16/15/1 or my Neu 1107/1.5D in a Recoil. Those 2 motors are up there in the Kv.

It's geared for right at 40mph and it's probably realistically somewhere in the 37-38mph range. I need to grab some video of a speed run with it if I can this weekend.
