4wd Baja 5e based on stretched truggy chassis

Finaly spring is here and grip level is right where it should be. I shot a video this morning while driving at my favorite bash spot. The video is almost uncut and represents the complete run till the batteries were depleted.

Here is the video for download
alternative: Same video from a streaming server (does not require a complete download)

The batteries (2x 6s Turnigy 3600mah 30C wired in paralel) were depleted in about 11 minutes. I am usually putting back 3500mAh per batterie (meaning i`m using around 7000mAh). Average values: 636mAh per minutes, 38A or 850W.

As my chassis is almost completly closed and outside temperatures are slowly rising (16°C / 61°F) the Castle 1717 begins to warm up noticeably(around 65°C / 150°F). There is already some heat transfer from the motor to the chassis plate (due to the motor mount and the motor lying on the chassis plate). But, there is still potential to optimise heat transfer and cool this motor further (which i think will be needed when summer hits).
