My Futaba clone ESC finally thermal shut down at 300F tonight trying to push the heavy Pede so brushless wins by default.
I ordered a Feigao 380C-6L tonight. Ordered a Warrior 7018 with Reverse to control it. On 7 GP3300's, how strong is this combo? I have the alum idler, but is there a need to limit the throttle on my transmitter (diff gear, driveshafts, etc)? Not quite sure on the BL gearing on 5.75" tires, but I have many pinions/spurs to try. I know the BK 70's thermal at 110C but I hope not to try that.
I don't have any aluminum; but those RPM StableMaxx rims are really nice, I used HPI nitro Rush front arms (strong, $8) in front to make the arms equal length all around.

The stock Maxx tires and wheels weigh 307g each and the RPM stablemaxx wheels with Panther Komodos and Maxx Adapters/Bearings weigh 159g each. It's a huge difference in unsprung weight. That's over a pound of difference total with all 4 tires/wheels.
And the Komodos are these:

I finally got my shocks and bearings in today, so I hope to be putting this thing together for some pics over the next couple of nights.
