jhautz, I'll be sure to let you know what Neu says about the motor. I was definitely having problems running the 1.5d, but I was also having problems running the 8L. I'm hoping that it was the controller.

I may just abandon the whole 2700kv thing all together. I may just stick with the 2.5d geared at 20/46 and run 6S lipo. I need to order another pack for the truck anyway. I loaned my buddy my brand new Neu 30C 4.1Ah 5S pack last night and he had a pretty bad cart wheel incident. The spur chewed the side of the battery.

I'm thinking of going with a flightpower evo 3700 6s. I just wonder if the 3700 will have the nuts to run the system.
