Hopefully I'll get to see it run...I saw it today in person (dropped by the LHS where MetalMan works and he showed me).

That was one LOOONG skid...that explains why the body mount mosts were completely flat - no more little knobs for the body clips anymore lol.
After work I drove it in the alley, and within 20secs. the leftr rear wheel nut came off :010:. Left-side wheel nuts are not friendly to me.

OnEdit: Oh and another thing, you may have done these or not, but here goes! Braid your ESC/Motor wires to cut EMI. Also, putting a ferrite bead on your wires going to the RX will help cut interference. I had my RX really close to my motor, and that made it act pretty wonky. Moving it farther away (and the antenna too) helped a lot.

I've also noticed that as my packs get low, the motor will glitch regardless. With running the 5700, it just shuts off, but with the 10L it'll keep running for a while, the hard cutoff doesn't seem to want to engage, either that or the extra load of the motor bounces around the cutoff voltage. I'm running a 10L, which is a lot less draw than the 8L you are running, so you might be more sensitive to low voltage.

Motor wires were braided. The receiver was sitting on top of the servo at the front of the truck, about 3" away from the motor. I don't have a ferrite ring to try out, and I really don't know where to get one.

This glitching is throughout the entire discharge of the battery. A123 cells hold their voltage pretty darn well, so I'm not sure that would be a problem.
I was using the Mamba Max's internal BEC, so I can try using the receiver pack again.
