Just threw one of these in my Summit over the weekend, not the smoothest on low speed (using a Leopard 36-65-2100kv 4 Pole motor), was expecting that though, I figure the motor would struggle pushing a heavy Summit around but it didn't, no temps over 50c anywhere so that was a good thing. Did have some servo glitching but as I changed from the TRX radio to my 4pl at the same time, and it could have been the 2075 Traxxas servos deciding to give out at that time, note to self, don't attempt full speed with locked diffs in 2nd gear! Keeping an eye on it, but ripped the Traxxas servos out in favour of a single MG996 which seems to push it around ok. Will need to do more testing and keep an eye on it, may need an external BEC (unlike Big Block, I found the internal BEC to be weaker than that on the EVX2) , Lipo LVC worked a treat though. So right now, it's still testing, intention is to upgrade the steering, and maybe motor if required, as well as put in an external BEC if it's needed.
