Have plenty of runtime on the truck now.

Geared up to 18/62 on the motor, 14t was way too short. System seems MUCH happier now, temps are more balanced and overall its much lower.

These #'s are for running 3S2P and 4S1P, and not the 6S1P with the twin 3S packs. I haven't really had a chance to run 6S1P in an area thats big enough and not covered with snow right now. My electronics aren't waterproofed yet so I won't take it outside into the snow until I fix that.

After running 3S2P for about 25 minutes the batteries were about 90*, the ESC about 105*, and the motor was 110*. I did really well on 3S at the track. Enough power to match the nitro 8th buggies on the straights, with amazing acceleration but little to no drama. I ran without any punch control or torque limiting of any kind. Batteries didn't care one bit.

On 4S1P after a full discharge to the 3.2v cut-off the temps were 100* Batts, 110* ESC, and 120* motor. I messed up on my stopwatch here my guess is runtime was in the 15 minute range.

I don't expect much difference with 6S1P, but won't know till the roads dry up enough that I feel safe running it again. And running 6S at the track would be plain stupid. Though I might do it for a bit this thursday at the track to make a few people shake their heads.
