and Aaron, the reason, from what i've been reading, is that the bigger and heavyer motors are to much weight, tq, and not enough rpm.
plus it reqwires a 3-4 cell "heavyer yet" lipo to make them work like the hv on a 2 cell.
the novak hv's are only slightly heavyer then the stock stuff, but have more grunt and run way cooler, which we all know the stock vxl stuff in the 4x4 has heat issuies when pushed hard, or when using a 3 cell.
Jay, would love to see some vid! is he running 2 cell's?
from what i've read, this setup with only a 2 cell has the power to move around in the air well, like the truck will with the stock setup on a 3 cell.
He did not run it tonight, so no video. He is running 2 cell and the slash running 2 cell with him was not even comparable. I think the 3s slash may be closer though.
