1/5 Brushless 4wd Conversion

For reference, Tower has the standard Baja tires listed at 6 11/16"; not always spot on, but usually I've found their measurements to be close enough. So that means these are ~2/3" smaller in diameter. And the wheelbase is about 2" shorter.

Well sorry for the lack of updates, the weather has not been cooperating very much at all here lately. I finally got a chance to run my Gas XB against a bone stock XBe in a drag race.
The gas XB has a 28.5 CY, 8k spring, Jetpro and prototype belt drive. So its reasonably quick out of the line and is a fair comparison in performance. The XBe has been nothing short of fantastic. I have been trying to torture the electronics and get a failure but so far they have been holding up quite well. The motor does get a little warm but I can hold my finger on it indefinitely. Once I get a suitable temp gun I will run the stock batteries down doing nothing but high speed runs and donuts and report the ESC, motor and battery temps.
Here is the full unedited video, most of the details are in the video description:
