What is your average run times with your new lipos vs. your nihm ?? you using (2) 2s 4000mAH??
What do you think your next major upgrade will be??
Thanks for your time and have a great one.
Shaun.

I am running 72/13 at this point, with 1/8 buggy ratio diffs (43/13), RCM center dogbones, and 3.3spec plastic driveshafts to the wheels- all holding just great.
The Nimhs (4300mah cheapies) were giving me about 10-15 minutes of bash time; I did stop every so often to check temps, so wasnt on the throttle 100% all the time- too many little kids to hit...
The lipos (4s 4000mah x2 for a total of 8000mah 4s 10c) gave me nearly double that, though I didnt time the run- will do next time though to get some more definitive info).
Next major upgrade will definately be the MMM esc and 6s2p of A123 cells. That little lot should be on its way quite soon courtesy of Kulangflow, real life safer that man is. Not settled 100% on a motor to go with it though, since the Medusas are harder to get than a girlfriend
, so I may go down the Neu or Castle Neu route, no great rush at this point- the Hvmaxx is so much more fun with even cheapo lipos I will just enjoy that setup for the time being, might even pickup another cheap pair of lipos (~$20 each) and selloff my Nimhs.
I am picking up a couple more pairs of the truggy shocks too, I think the truck will benefit from the extra dampening since its so heavy, but I wouldnt have it any other way, lol.
