Boy thats dirty. Nice videos. Where did the car vanish at the 2nd video
Suprising that you didn't have any temp issues with that kind of protection..

Looks funny, doesn't it. Especially since nothing else has moved ;-) The driver of this car took quite some time to find a parking spot. I edited this part out of the video.

While running my truggy with the same components ... motor temps hovered between 30-40°C (86-104°F) with outside temps around 0°C (32°F). Protection was not that good but still not a lot of airflow around the motor. Therefore i did not worry about temps even with this kind of protection. Temperatures will rise when running on a high grip surface ... i usually run 2 fans above the motor. i might mount them again when outside temps will start to rise. The Neu 1515 is somewhat too much motor for those small buggy tires. Temperature should not be too much of a concern.

Snow got pretty abundant here over the last few days. Further testdrives had again to cope with this circumstance. This time the snow consistency was all but ideal nevertheless i had to test how the truck would perform on thick snow.

I cut a small video of the last few runs: http://194.158.136.73/ds/rc/br50_run9_11_snow.wmv

Conditions were perfect for paddle tires.

I was finally able to test the truck on a surface with more grip. Here is a short video of this run.

Peak Amp draw hovered between 50-65A (around 1250-1500 Watt) while accelerating with a short burst at 85A (1760 Watt).

I'm now facing a new challenge. The body gets very heavy while driving on wet grass.
