Project: Savage Flux 5T

[fastbaja5b]

I'm curious about these 5T kits, it seems they are marketed to get people to use existing electronics (albeit more volts) in them, last I checked neither the Savage Flux or E-Revo Brushless were known for being reliable from an electronics standpoint, the MMM speedy still does seem to like to become a flaming pile of molten plastic a little too easily. Heck even on a 50f day outside on my box stock Flux with standard tyres and gears the ESC fan seems to be on more than it is off and that was running 4s Polyquest Enerland 5100mah 30C lipos. Is this project well advised while we don't have "reliable" 1/8th ESC's about or are the Tekins more reliable than the Castles? Obviously with the MMM still having a 2-3 week wait time on repairs / replacement it's still an ongoing issue.
