Thanks! I was trying to keep it simple so there was no way for it to look bad . Perhaps the battery tray could be perceived as ugly, but it's covered up by the battery and velcro anyways .

Got a replacement Monster in today from CC (should have received 2 MMM V3s and a MM, only received one MMM), and hooked it all up. This truggy is fun! Gearing is still 14/46 with buggy diffs, and Medusa 36-60-1600, on 5s 4800mah 20C Lipo. I set the punch control to 30%, 16.5v cutoff, medium start power, medium timing, and 50% brake.

Driving on the street with Badlands ( ) yielded excellent results. Even with 30k oil in the center rolling wheelies at 25mph were not an issue. After 5-7mins the motor was only 135deg., MMM WITHOUT fan was only 125 deg., and the battery was maybe 80. Ambient was 65-70. I am definitely looking forward to driving this truck more, it's very nimble for its weight!
