Another Gmaxx is born

Took the truck out today- no video as I forgot the camera, d'oh. Sister's boyfriend took some mobile footage though, so I'll see if I can upload that later.

Medusa is absolutely awesome! Maximum temp for the motor was about 156*F, with hard running on a warm day. I did stop for 5 minutes a couple times to let it cool down, but I didnt really need to- more for my benefit than the trucks.

Zippy lipos were brilliant too, didnt get above 92*F. When I noticed them loosing a bit of punch after about 30 miuntes or so I bought the truck in to check the voltages- all the cells in the ~3.5-3.7v region still, but I decided to swap them out for the A123s. Seems that the 5th cell in each lipo does discharge little quicker than the other 4 though, but it isnt a massive difference so Im not concerned (0.2v lower).

The A123s are still going strong, but they arent a match for the Zippies in terms of punch and runtime, feels less punchy (less wheelie power), and get warmer during a run. Still great for what they are, but Im thinking about selling them to get some more Zippies (5000mah instead of 4000mah next time I reckon).
