I knew it was a risk... anyway I couldn't be happier with my Novak NX4-3900KV with a 20T pinion. Motor temps were coming off the track consistently at 133° with a cooling fan. I would qualify about 11 seconds behind a local pro driver which made me feel pretty good. There were five 4WD Trucks mixed in with three 2WD Trucks, so I would start #3 on the grid, and the main would turn into a battle of attrition. The #5 driver stripped out the threads on a ball cup on his 4th lap. The #4 driver stripped a servo gear on his lucky 13th lap. I would end up in the #3 spot where my solder joint melted off at the negative lead on the ESC from the battery just when I finished my 15th lap. The ESC was barely warm to the touch which makes me think it was just a sloppy solder joint that eventually popped off over time... this was from wiring that had been done 2 cars ago when I used the iron at the track with fans blowing in the pit room and I was too lazy to go back and do it right at home... #rookymistake

Anyway, here's a clip of yesterday's main for those interested in watching these trucks battle it out on turf, oh and I'm the only one running SCT wheels:
