Too little too late now, but I paint the positive side of my battery and use red shrink tube on the speeder wires to help me when i'm in a hurry between heats or not paying attention on a Sunday during practice.

well it depends how much droop your running i suppose, doesnt mean your not setting it wrong, on mine with the shocks half the way turned out on the rod ends, or all the way turned in the epa doesnt really change im running my rod ends flush with the end of the threads

I run that battery. It never lags and feels powerful through a non stop 15 min run. I can tell you that you are making the greatest move if you get it.

Also sucks what happened to your esc.

Hideeho
If it's an MIP al top shaft look @ the teeth very closely. I had 5 teeth that I had to file down because there was a lip on the drivers side edge. If it's avid check any way. Everything I've seen from them has been spot on, but mistakes do happen.
