Savage Flux with 8S and Neu 1521

Just starting a new 8S Flux project. The Neu 1521 motor drops right in with no major problems. I broke down and bought an MGM 25035 ESC for the build. I haven't had the best of luck with MGM's, but it's the only 8S high amp car ESC out now. (I know about the HV 110. Not enough starting power for wheelies and backflips.)
Check out the new Integy tie rod eliminator rear hub. Integy claimed in an e-mail to me that these are 6061-T6. Usually Integy stuff is crap and they lie. So I took it in to the metallurgy dept. where I work and they confirmed it! It is 6061-T6, we'll see if it holds up.
