Yeah, that's me holding it up high. And to think 6' 2" tall isn't tall enough :005:.
The 8L hasn't been running too hot, maybe 150 deg. F tops. The Mamba Max ESC seems like it will thermal before the motor hits 180 deg.
Not sure on the weight, or the weight compared to stock. Some time I will have to weigh my Revo as well.

You need a ladder for a drivers stand.:005: Dude, get youself a 2.4ghz tx/rx before doing any more upgrades. What good is a fast setup if you cant get the range to let it run.

At first I did have a 5cell receiver pack on the front deck, but I removed it since I'm running a low enough voltage to use the internal BEC.
Yeah, I do need a radio system that won't glitch. However, the antenna on the receiver I'm using did get shortened about 1/4" since it was repaired after it ripped.
I think I want to wait for the Airtonics MX-3FHSS, Airtronics' first attempt at 2.4ghz. It's supposed to be out in March. Tower shows it for $165 for the TX/RX, which is a pretty good deal. And then I can get it cheaper through the LHS I work at. I've also emailed Airtronics to see if they could just convert one of my two MX-3 transmitters to 2.4ghz. They are pretty local (~25mins away) so I could just bring it to them if they were to offer that service.

You are in luck. I have a second page where it can be downloaded from (:)):
