simplechamp's Jammin X2 carbon on-road GT

I weighed it today and it turned out a little heavier than I thought, right about 3550g RTR. Not a pig by any means, but I thought with all the CF it would come in a bit lighter. The only parts I know of that are heavier than stock are the alloy diff cups and hardened steel internals. Maybe the tires are heavier than off-road buggy tires since the rubber is thick and dense. Guess I'd have to weigh them separately.

I pulled an RX out of one of my other vehicles because I couldn't wait any longer. Just zipped up and down the street about 5 times, and I learned:

A) As expected, this thing absolutely screams!

B) The sensored operation is awesome (currently set to smart sense mode). No cogging at all even rolling forward at a snails pace. I was pretty amazed at how slow it could actually go, definitely glad I went sensored.

Next up will be digging out the EagleTree to find out what kind of power this thing makes. I really wanted to go for a 6S lower kv setup, but I found a good deal on the Tekin 2650kv. Beside that, I have many pairs of 2S packs, only one pair of 3S. Even if the runtimes are a bit shorter I'll be able to run more without waiting on packs to charge. Eventually when it's time for new packs I'm definitely going for 6S though.
