Yup, although I have to say once she had her coffee she actually asked if she could drive it. I nearly fell over lmao. Shes never shown any interest in anything RC. I'm guessing its just cuz its a huge kit? She gonna be back to complaining though once she finds out I have like another $2500 in RC kits/rollers/batteries/parts coming lol. I came in to a few extra bucks lately so I kind been on a binge trying to buy back a lot of the stuff I sold off when I thought I was never gonna get back in to RCs lol.


I'm hoping theres not some sort of hidden issue with it cuz it seems awefully loaded for no more than I paid for it but that being said it doesn't look like its been abused so I'm hopeful
I can't even test it out yet though. I gotta order some EC5 or XT90 plugs (my understanding is that either plug is compatible with the IC5 Spektrum connectors) so I can make some adapters to fit my deans. Normally Id just solder some deans on it but with a kit this size I may run it a few times and decide its to big and want to resell it so I dont want to chop anything off of it just yet until I'm sure.

EC5 work just fine with IC5 connectors. My Kraton 6s has the stock IC5 connector and all my lipos have EC5 on them. Just plug em up and away I go.

Ok, I got one run in before it got dark!!! This thing is stupid! 2 of the new 4S lipos I ordered dont fit in the battery trays...Theyre too long. I just stuck two 2S packs below it so the 4S could rest on top and then just strapped em all in

My wife took a little footage, I'll post it up tomorrow. I dont have time tonight. Its not very good footage anyway. IDK why but my wife is a terrible camera woman lol.

Btw, dont hit yourself with a 1/5 scale kit...I swear for about 3 minutes I was wondering if my foot was broke lol. Cut to close to myself...wont do that again lol.

That thing had these LiPos good and warm!

I gotta believe I have one of the best wives ever "not the mother of my kids". She totally understands what I went through and sacrificed for my kids raising them on my own and I had to do without. She tells me every time I want something to just go buy it because its my turn... You should see all the guitars hanging in my house...

Thats awesome. My wife is really great too. She pretty much doesn't like or doesn't understand everything I like or do but she gives me space to be me.
