Looking to buy MT/Truggy

Wow! That's it in a nutshell.

I just came in from testing this rig outside. If all truggies handle like this, why is there even a market for monster trucks? This thing handles awesome, even the way I have it set up for higher ground clearance! My Revo NEVER handled this well! And I should mention there are no sway bars installed on this.

And the suspension? Perfection! This thing handles jumps, even high ones, with ease. No bounce, and no chassis slap - just pure smoothness. These Jammin X2 shocks are just right.

The CD filled with 120k is PERFECT! Wheelies only when I want it to, otherwise, just takes off like a scalded cat.

The Medusa 36-80-2000 on 5s ran perfectly. Granted, it was around 30* outside, but I don't think it was even 30* above that. Plenty of power too.

I'm using Mike's 5s2p 5Ah lipos and they worked beautifully as well. I have no idea how long I was out there, but when they dumped, they dumped. There was no "wait a few seconds for the voltage to rebound so I could drive it to me". When I put them on the charger about 10 minutes later, the pack was at 16.5v (lvc set to 16v or 3.2v/cell). It only took 800mAh before the voltage was at my storage level of 19v. Man, I love these.

So, in case you can't tell, I am extremely pleased with this setup.
