well, this thing just wasn't the answer to my problems...
run time was a little better, but at the expense of low down grunt. It would move down the big straight pretty well, but just didn't have the power to get this truck over the triple consistently.
It would be a great motor for an indoor short course track, but not what i need to the 1/8 scale tracks I like to run. back to the drawing board.
So if anyone is looking for one to try it out, I have one for sale, one day of use
I'm thinking the sc411 4600 will be a better solution for me. That or I will just resign myself to 10K mah pack... ha ha. I actually got the truck handling pretty well with 600g of battery.
