More info: I just did some more fiddling (of course none of which made even a shade of difference lol).

When i run it seems to deliver spikes of insane and crazy power (grass ripping power) - but thats at low speeds and it will suddenly lurch forward for a fraction of a second - it's a glitch i'm quite sure of that, but i have nowhere near that kind of power available when i'm driving normally.

The speed isn't great - FAR below what i would expect from the 5900Kv 6S on 7 cells - any one of my Nitros would completely kill it in a drag race (which is NOT the situation i wanted lol).

I'm starting to suspect the controller (which i need to change anyway due to a recent LiPo venture which still hasnt arrived) - i dont think it's up to the job.

It seems to run quite hot which could explain the lack of power, but even running the controller from cold (the instant i took the truck out), the power still wasn't there.

I'm just all round not happy with it - going to buy me that MGM 120 that i was going to buy then kept putting off lol

Before i blow $200 though, does anyone have any suggestions?
