Not into the lipo's.

I am currently using (2) IB 3800 NiMh packs. Plenty of punch and speed. I can barely keep control of it.

Right, right.. I meant power source though.. Lipo? Nimh?

Sorry Lessen..... I thought you were asking about the mill. My bad.

Nearing completion.

I just need to re-build my batt packs to fit the new chassis and I will be off to races.

That's a pretty badass lookin piece there.. Are you gonna be able to get some race video?

All I can say is WOW.

Soldered up my batt packs and took it out for a spin today.

I thought it was quick before, now it is just insane. The stability gained by going with the gmaxx chassis was well worth it. It handles almost as well as my STR in the turns. I have to keep a light trigger finger or I can easily spin out at any speed. It is challenging to drive to say the least.

One of my premount street tires has a bad wobble, but I am just going to go with it for now. It looks bad when rolling at low speeds, but at high speed you can't even see it since it's just a blur. It's maiden race will be this coming Saturday at HT in Petaluma. I can't wait.

It's great isn't it! That HV Maxx motor is insaine. The brakes are solid as well. I can flip my Emaxx on its lid in reverse! LOL

Glad to hear you are having a blast my friend. I can't wait to hear about how the race turns out. Good luck!
