Great little truck only downfall I have is having to order parts instead of going to my lhs. Def ditch the CC motor! The VXL should run cooler geared for the same speed, a Medusa would still be much better though. The Ofna ext chassis would be a better setup too, they're not to expensive either. IMO running non stop for hours isn't good for your electronics, you should give them some time to cool off between runs, especially if your using a less than ideal motor. I know my vxl on 2s got very hot after just 1 pack in my Rustler, where as my Medusa in my CRT.5 geared for the same speed barely breaks 125*. Also IMO I would give Lipos a try, with 2 decent sized packs it leaves enough time between runs to let things cool off a bit, and if you have another truck to run while your waiting then there is no down time, Lipos seem to be much easier to fit on these.

Regardless I think you'll love the little truggy, especially with a more capable motor, regardless of your battery choice.
