Damnit, the Lipo battery industry needs better standards!

Be sure to watch your temps on 6s. You will actually be increasing the wattage being put out by the motor therefore increasing the heat it's putting out (it's not 100% efficient, afterall). If you can swing the cash, I'd go with 4s and 6s so you can have insane power when you want it but you can also tame it down to a more reasonable level.

See, I DO occassionally know what I'm talking about 170 degrees in 12 minutes is rather hot for a motor. If you want to run for the length of your batteries (I'm guessing 20-30 minutes) you'll want to make sure you aren't overheating or you can demagnetize the rotor. I'm sure you've noticed how obsessive I am about temperatures and as a result I've never cooked an ESC, motor, or battery as a result (saving a lot of money and frustration). I've never run one of those motors on 6s so I have no idea how long it will take to get beyond nominal temperatures but if you aren't careful you'll be making another thread about how pissed off you are at toasting a $140 motor.

Still holding up great. Had to Loctite the rear endbell back on after a few too many standing backflips but still alive and working hard to make me go broke buying tires

Hey Freeze - did you adjust your gearing after you changed your diff's?
