Video works for me too, now.
I don't agree with jollyjumper that it's overpowered, but it is powerfull.
I want basically the same setup in my Thunder Tiger ST-1 Pro (1515 2.5d,Quark 125, 5s, 46t spur, 13 or 14t pinion for racing)
I haven't ordered the batteries yet though. I was thinking 8000mah maxamp packs, but people have been saying that the truerc packs are good value.
Are these packs getting hot in your setup, do they seem relible? If they work well for you then they should work well for me.
How does the motor and esc seem temp wise? I don't think the motor should be much of a issue, but I'm not sure about the Quark.
How does the run time seem? I'm wondering if I can get 25 minutes racing out of it.
Sorry, one more question to bug you with. What weight diff oils are you running? I like that it diffs out a bit, but is still able to do wheel stands.
Looks like a good car and I hope keeps working well.
Thanks

Very nice LSP IMO, I like that it has the power available there.

Thanks for the answers A4DMT.
I got my 1515 2.5d yesterday, and I think I'll get the TrueRc packs (I want to use a 2s and 3s pack together), if there not that good then atleast they're not too expensive.
Now I just need to make a motor mount and battery trays.

I'm running a truerc 5S 8Ah pack too. With my 8XL it never even breaks a sweat.

I finally got a change to watch the movie.

You are familiar that brushless controllers can do more than on/off?

You can see the batteries are getting warmer at the end of the movie. The temperature difference gives it more power.

haha of course I know they can do more than on and off. I was trying to break it.. I've always had horrible drivetrain luck with all my rc's.. my old tc3 snapped 5 aluminum cvd's, and bent two steel cvd's.. eventually went to titanium, and didn't have any problems after that.. I was just breaking in the drivetrain to see what would fail first. in the video the spur stripped.. I just happened to strip another spur tonight.. that's my 5th stripped spur so far :002: I've only got another 6 in my toolbox =\

What spur are you using? you could use a plate that holds the 51t ofna spur, and put two of them on it and ask Mike to make you a longer pinion. (or one plastic, and one steel)

I've been using the kyosho 46t gear from mike's store. I believe the cause is the motor not staying put.. it seems to slide away from the diff just a tiny bit.. I'm not sure, but it's not sheering the teeth off completely, it's just kind of flattening them 1/2 way down. I'm trying some new screws tommorow (hex head, instead of phillips), and I'll use loctite, and see if it holds.
