Some of the magazine guys are strange, and I really question what they know....

I can only imagine what they will do when the mamba monster w/motor combo comes out.

I saw that too! I couldn't believe what I saw/read! I guess he must only wants to go 20 mph.

A 6.5hv will work just fine on 3s. That's a 3400kv motor, so at 11.1v it's spinning 37,740 rpm, that's pretty fast to me. I usually aim for around 29-34k when I pick out my battery motor combo (depending on track size). As for the brakes, they may have not been put on for the studio shots but I can only guess as to why they're not there.
