If you have a video of it, hook me up.

For batteries, I was thinking of using 2 6S 5000Mah Packs.
Any sugguestions would be excellent. Video of a 1/5 Scale BL moving at Lightning speeds... Priceless!!!

Okay, I'm tired of the Petrol now... :)

I've started stripping down, the firehammer M/T 3 weeks ago, but waited and still is waiting for some parts to come in...

Motors and ESC just came in Yesterday Afternoon... this will be my plan...

MOTORS: 2x KB45-17XL-700KV
ESC: 2x OEMRC 12S100Amp ESC w/ Pistix
BATTERIES: maybe 1P or 2P.. 12S 5000mAh 25C PolyQuest
SPUR: 48T (Stock)
PINION: 14T, 16T or 19T (Steel 10mm Bore with adapter to fit over 6mm shaft)
FDR w/ 14T PINION: 11.76 (57.03 MPH)
FDR w/ 16T PINION: 10.29 (65.18 MPH)
FDR w/ 19T PINION: 8.66 (77.40 MPH)

I will start with the 14T first to see how many amps are being pulled. Here are a few pictures....
Also when I received the new OEMRC escs, they're changed the heatsink on it. Seems like it's a little bit lower profile and less fins.. And the wires looked like they were a smaller gauge as well...
