I went up to the school today to finish up cleaning after our event we had yesterday and took the Lightning. We also had Zane's chopper and his Pede. I went back after the event last night and cleaned up everything but the carpet, I vacuumed it last night so it was clean before I put it away.

I ran it for a while and it drove really good. Jumps nice and level and the attitude correction from the throttle works awesome. Really moves the truck a lot in the air. But I am using those LiFe 2S packs in series and I just don't think it has good juice going to it. Plus it might need geared a bit cause the motor was getting warm. I did not have my temp gun with me so I don't know how hot it was getting but not overly warm as I could still hold onto it.

But the slipper really faded pretty quickly. I am using one of the Kitchen O Ring sprongs that Mike said worked great. But these after they heat up just slip and slip and slip. Maybe I have the wrong kind but they are pretty stiff rubber. I am going to tear it apart tomorrow and see if maybe the slipper pads are bad. I burned my finger when I went to tighten the adjustment plate on it and it instantly gave me a blister on my finger so it was HOT!! Really HOT!

I have a couple brand new Hyperion 2S LiPo's I think I will try in it next. Maybe it will send better juice to that system since it is a rather hefty truck.

Anyway here is some video!!! It was awesome driving this truck. Cannot wait to get it dialed in and run some packs through it.
