Ha Ha Ha I thought this was a Godzilla moive when I saw that big head come into the picture.

Just yanking your chain Jordan. Yes any kind of lose connections will create heat issues somewhere. Did you check for heat at the lose connections? It also may depend on your setup of the ESC as well if you have something set too soft or too hard. It looked as if it was running fairly well for the most part. Sometimes gearing the vehicle too low will also give you overheating issues. How about some close up pics of the truck now that it is finished. Nice to see you finally having some fun with all of your hard work.

Ask and you shall recieve!!! I took these pics when i just got back from the run. Also, im thinking about asking Mike to CNC me CF or Alu motor mount so i can change between pinions easier.

Thanks for the comments as well Jerry, it was good to finally see it running and not break anything!!

P.S you can see i heatshrinked the piggybacks as well in case one of them decided to blow out, i wouldn't lose the cap, just some extra insurance

It looks like a nice clean setup Jordan. How much does that thing weigh with everything onboard? Those batts must be pretty heavy considering the size of them? What are those 8000 mah's? And what voltage are you pushing through your ESC? So how do you like running the center diff as apposed to using a tranny? I will probably setup my SuperMaxx with a center diff once I get a big motor for it. I have a couple Torsend diffs and I was thinking about trying one of them as a center diff to see how it works in that position.

Roughly 14lbs all up. The batts are 5000mah a piece, running in parallel. So pretty much have a 5s 10,000mah pack in there. To be honest i have never run a brushless truck until today, so comparing to the old e-maxx tranny with the titans, i like it. When you take faster corners and the inside wheel starts to lift it seems to settle it down a bit more.

What center diff are you planning to use on the lightning? I've heard torsens are weaker than spyders so i would be careful running one with a 'Bolido', come to think of it, id be careful running anything with a 'Bolido', dont forget to wear safety glasses in case parts of the spur gear ping off into your eyes
