Yea try this out I have a Neu 1515/1d/s a Quark competition 80b an 3s 11.1v 6000 lipo battery and lets just say it has never overheated the ESC motor or battery.Its overkill yea but I just couldnt resist.This little truck has the extended ofna chassis and a custom made 4mm grafite top diff plate.Its a rocket now I can imagine if I geared it up it would have a impresive top speed.This truck is my all time favorite rc car its just a real blast to drive.
