380C 6L powered T3

I figured I'd post up a thread about my T3. It's a team built T3 roller with no hop ups except for the tires/wheels. Here's a rundown:

T3
Masher 2K Tires
RPM Bully Wheels
JR Z590M Servo
MM ESC
Feigao 380C 6L Motor
Trakpower 2S 4900mAh Lipo

I took it out for a speed run today, along with a few video clips. I had some problems with the speed runs as I couldn't keep the front wheels down until I finally got smart enough to strap the GPS over the front bulkhead. By the time I did this, I went to take a run out on the grass and it was quite a bit slower than it had been running before. I manage to drive it back to me slowly only to find out that the roll pin in one my MIP cvd's had sheared off, leaving two small bits in the wheel and the rest in the stub axle. I have never had that happen before, so I was a bit amazed. I happened to have some spares, so I popped a new pin in and was ready to go out again. I managed to keep it pretty straight for about 150' on a wide sidewalk to get a top speed of 47.7mph on the GPS. I know I could have had it faster with more room, but I was happy to settle to for that without breaking anything else. I then popped the body on it and went off for some quick vids of it running in a large field. Here's the vids:

I am simply amazed at the power this little motor puts out. The only problem now is keeping the darn thing on the ground.
