i'm currently using a maxamp 7.4v 6000mah with a novak velocity 4.5r brushless and GTB esc. Runs very cool. the main problem is traction. i go trough tires every 45 mins. the battery didn't fit so i had to sand down the battery holder to fit, but it's well worth it. me and my buddies were parking lot racing and i had the thing running for a good 30 mins before the GTB shut her down and that's not at full charge. the temps were not even hot. the mini is actually good with a strong motor. it tracks straight while laying 20 ft of hpi rubbers on the pavement. i have a brushless set-up on my m04 also and all it does is donuts...at any speed. anyways, my friend's mini is faster than mines with a 18t motor and i'm a better driver. you can figure out why. need to get a one way and dial the suspension in.
