Ya that would definitely suck and make ya freak out a bit for sure lol. Got my stretched girl ready to go this AM, 4s pack and GoPro charging now. Hoping to break the 110 mark for a new 4s PB 🤞🏼 also going to see if my boy wants to come and try to break 100 or a new PB over his current of 91mph😎

Well no dice with the Typhon today just getting too much sag with the single 5000mAh pack. So think I'm going to start running some 6s passes and pick up a parallel connector in the mean time. Also going to try and raise the body to fit dual packs as I'm not going to see any gain on 4s until I can keep the voltage up.

Yesterday I did my 2nd run since my accident. No full pull, I am still facing some mental barrier apparently. More than I had anticipated. It was nice to see the limitless with the C8 body and 5840L motor going straight as an arrow though.

As I have a Dutch Bash meeting coming up, I send most of my time recently on prepping my 1/5 FG. I converted it from 2wd to 4wd, belt-driven. I did a 75mph speed(test)run with it and i am amazed how much more efficient it seems to run. For such a big machine in offroad setup, only pulling 80A up to that speed, i am getting more and more curious how it would perform as an actual speedrunner.

That's awesome Rot! I can't imagine it being easy to get back out at all as I was trigger shy a while after my wreck let alone being hit and injured by a car. 128mph is great though and nothing to be ashamed of for first few passes back. Man that 1/5 scale sounds insane! Would love to see that bad boy in action, 75mph offroad belt driven 1/5😱🤤

Never noticed this option on castle escs before.should I disable it???

I believe the current limiting setting is only on the old XLX (which I see you are running on the Typhon.
You can move it to disabled or custom limits around 380 or 400 amps I think.

Nice passes Jon. Not sure if it was just me, but the audio cut out in two different places on this video. Never got to hear the convo between you and the guy in the F150.
