Very Nice BL-Power!

I've always wondered how the Kontronik ESC's would handle an outrunner in a setup like this. You sound very pleased with it.

Tires that don't Balloon like that? Hmmmmmm...........the HPI Phaltline tires are a GREAT high speed tire, but they don't grip real well off road. They do stick on-road like glue though. The smoothest tire I've ever drove on. I did a few 65mph passes with them. The best I've found for high speed runs so far.

I've heard the Badlands are a pretty good all around tire.

I agree with your statement on the HPI Phaltlines. They are great tires. However, HPI doesn't seem capable of gluing them to the wheels they come "mounted" on, so you should glue them yourself. When I got mine, I actually pulled the tires off of the wheels and taped them up to decrease ballooning.

I used the Phatlines on a few speed runs I made.
