Jammin X-1 CR conversion build

[Motoman]

I haven't updated this thread in a while, so I figured I'd fill you guys in. The batteries I ordered are great but in retrospect I probably would have been better off with a 5000mah or 6000mah instead of the 8000mah. They still work, but the body hits the top of the batteries. The good news is they work beautifully in the E-Revo I built a couple of months ago. So, I can use them in all of my trucks. I haven't gotten a chance to run it on the track yet, but I did run my E-Revo on the track and I'm happy to say that it will take on any truggy at the track and leave them eating roost. One concern that I have right now is that one of the Gorillamaxx straps tore apart where the inside hole is. I didn't tear at the hole where it was bolted down. Is this common, or was it maybe a defective strap? I was surprised that it actually tore instead of the velcro comming apart. Maybe you guys can shed some light on this. Should I just buy a new one or does somebody make a stonger battery strap?

Anyway, other than the battery strap tearing I couldn't be happier.
