The only interest I have in the Traxxas Forum is to update my BL Villain Build thread, I was hoping I could help some people who wanted to upgrade their own boats. No big loss, I just wish I could have finished my thread.
Do you have any videos posted of your Villian running? Would like to see it.
That's about the speed you get out of a stock EX with the same props and 14 cells and the ESCs were cooler when it came out of the water than when it went in. I've got a pair of Velineons and 18T pinions waiting to go in as soon as I get a replacement ESC. Probably keep it to 2s to keep the amp draw reasonable, should be plenty fast with those bigger pinions. With that setup I could get 20-30 minutes out of my PolyQuest 30C 5AH lipos.
All I ever wanted was an honest weeks pay for an honest days work.
