So far highest temps I've seen are 155 at the ESC and 215 at the motor.
Those were reached on some of the first runs I made. The latest 79mph run had much cooler temps but I also allow a little more cool down time between runs.
What kind of speed are you getting out bp's tranny? I'm 25/44...
I am a bit worried about the brittle issue since I tend to get wound up and just launch the hell outta my truck every now and then. Well see tho. If I can keep my FLM and get a set of carbons then they'll be used for speed runs only.
I run the 39T idler and I would not recommend it for bashing. It makes crazy topend speed but I think low speed hard acceleration would be a damage maker. I say this tho and sure enough someone is probably bashing with a 39T and having no prob. Just my opinion on it.
I feel ya on the...
he does drive sometimes. my new remote allows me to limit the throttle he gets. I told him once he turns 5 we may open it up some more. He does great with his AX10 crawler
Okay I can see that one entry is not going to scratch my itch....
thats a sweet deal.
Any chance for runner up prizes???? maybe logo stickers or something??
This worked well for speedruns. I've got probably thirty runs on these with mo more than dab of glue here and there between sessions

I'm using two 3S 5000 mah 20c in series in the vid so there's plenty of power but I'm lightening up a bit with w single 6S 2650mah 40C so we'll see soon enough how that does.
I agree on the tires but right now I think diameter is where its at since I'm about out of gearing options
Thanks man I'm trying it's just not happening as fast as I'd like..play time is hard to find sometimes. Hopefully next time I get the spare cash I can take you up on some of your stuff. I definitely believe your tvps would make a noticeable difference in speed and will FOR SURE be in touch...
Thanks for the welcome everyone. I've been a bit busy lately with too much non-rc related work. I'm ready to get back after it. I have a lighter battery and some larger diameter tires coming and we'll see how that does hopefully this coming weekend. The battery is comin outta hong kong so...
Here's my latest project. I'd like to see 90 but I wont cry if I don't. It's still a blast either way
