Slightly overpowered Slashes

[skellyo]

Just a small update...
I spent some time on Friday and got one of them up and running. It's set up as follows:

MMM
Medusa 36-60-2000
4S 25C 3700mAh PolyRC Lipo
Pro-Line Epic Beadlocks
Pro-Line Switch Tires
Geared 18:54

I took it out in the street on Friday and couldn't get it past about 1/2 throttle on a partially charged lipo without it going over backwards. Today, I took it to a field down the road with really short grass and ran the rest of that battery pack out to check out the temps. After 20 or so ~150yd runs through the short grass at full throttle, the temps were as follows:

Motor: 128F
ESC: 93F
Batts: 105F

It was pretty damn fast with a pack that only had a partial charge in it. It may be nearly undriveable with a fully charged pack. I can only imagine how much time it'll be on it's lid from going over backwards. All in all, it looks to be a real nice setup for putting down some big power in a 2wd truck.

Nice. We want a vid now.
