Damn, that things a beast! Might cancel my order for a 720 and wait for one of these. Although not sure why they're saying its a 2S when it's 14.8v. Surely it's a 4S?

Running a Grid mount myself with inner and using HPI Mod 1 5mm (HB) 17T/19T/21T with T8 1900kv/RX8. Still got to fit the motor in the car (waiting for some Boca bearings after putting a screw through a std one in one of the steering blocks) so still need to check them. Got to say the Grid mount looks like a well made bit of kit and totally happy with mine. Even got the top plate which i wasn't expecting. Might send the carbon one back for a refund.

My builds ground to a halt waiting on bearings so not much i can do at the moment. Shells nearly finished painting, reasonably pleased for my 1st effort although i'll be using the thin masking tape before liquid mask next time to get the lines crisper. (I'll post pics once i've done the backing today). New diff bushes should be arriving today so i'll strip the diffs down, get 'em rebuilt and get the shocks done. What sort of rebound are you guys running. 3mm-ish? (Bronze25wt/Silver30wt/1.1 10 hole).
