finally pulled the trigger

I don't think the failure rate is any worse on 6s that any other voltage, and very unlikely now as castle keeps improving them. Gearing for 40mph seems to be about right for a good running set up, so no worries there. Castlelink should be included with just the esc (it was with mine). BTW you can actually get one shipped for less than $150 right here at RCM. I too like to support the local hobby shop (after a few years without), but they rarely have anything I want.
