Hey Jordan nice to see you finally having some fun with it. With that much power you need to put some Axial beadlock rims on that monster. It looks plenty powerful enough to do some damage. I am looking at doing something very similar with my UE Lightning SuperMaxx. I have a double monoblock on it, and plan to extend the width 2 inches to give it a little bit more stability for running some high speed passes. What batteries are you running in that again? How were all of your temps this time? How is the drivetrain holding up for you? Everything looked ok from the videos. Have fun man.

Hey Jerry, yes i've seen your crazy stretched lightning Cant wait to see it running, are you still going to put a Bolido in it I'm running 2 5s 5000mah Neuenergy packs in parallel. The V1's mind you, just a slower charge rate i think. As for temps, it was really hot out, around 95 F, so i cut the run short a little bit. They were;

motor: 130-150F
batts: 110-120F
ESC: 120-140F (fan came on a couple of times, but after 30 seconds went off)

The drivetrain is holding up really well, make sure you run hardened steel pinions and spurs on your speed machine, no melting here. Really happy with the UE gear, certainly doing its job. The RC alloys dogbones are really beefy as well, you'll definately be pleased with them!

Yes Sir I am looking forward to playing with mine as well, but it will be much like yours in the way of taking my time to do it right. As you saw even with all of your careful planning things still can go wrong. I am still considering the Bolido, or maybe even the 1527 like you. Either way if I gear it up and do some experimenting I should be able to reach some pretty impressive speeds when the time comes. Its all good.
