Now for the Run:

Very little if any glitching at low throttle - I expected some with the 75mhz.

Wheelies, wheelies, wheelies....much more than I have experienced with my Revo (MMM/1515 2.5D). Just guestimating - at about 45, give it a blip of throttle, and its on its lid...guess I should have put the included wheelie bar on, huh?!?!

I ran it for about 10-15 minutes up and down the street. Probably achieved 100 yards or more on its lid. And it now has the road rash hole to prove it.

The slipper seemed to loosen, and it was getting dark so I pulled it into the garage, spent about 7 minutes finding my needel nose (to remove those damn clips!), and took a couple pictures, and then remembered to take temps. The motor and batteries were 70 deg F, the esc 110 deg F. Ambient temp was around 45 at the time. So I think the ESC may run a little warm with the setup I was running - but I'll have to run it a little more to really know. I did not hear the fan come on at all while running it.
BTW - thank God for Spektrum, as my antenna is already shot from skidding down the asphalt on its lid!

My opinion right now is that its a decent truck, REALLY needs more length and width. It is far too fast for its handling capabilities (on 6S). I do think this will run good on 4S, so I'm in the market for a pair.
Battery trays need some serious improvement/expansion.
