No offense, but unique shape? It looks like a SWX:? The SSS is a unique shape. Anyway knowing you it will still be a good build.

Oh, ok but still it looks like a SWX. Your specs all look very nice except one thing a 25t turn motor If you run that on 3s you will have heat problems and if you run it on 2s it will have jack all torque. Just buy a puller, you will be far better off. Plus pullers are a crap load smoother in my experience. Anyway look forward to further details

I have ran cheap 27t motors with no problem just by using the proper gearing. A handwound 25 will do just fine.

True I did run grey can motors when my CR01 wasn't in pieces, but they got stupid hot just on a stick pack. I suppose volt up gear down:? Still I think they will run rather hot regardless.

Sounds like you have setup issues. Running 3s 1550 packs on 90/14 gearing with a 27t motor run times in the 40 minute range with no heat issues. I've done this a time or two

Hmm might do, but doing donuts might have been the true cause

Ben from MSD sent me a chassis as soon as they were ready, but before he got it in the mail I had him redirect it to my good friend MTHead. I had John put some special touches on my chassis to make it special. He laser etched the chassis's finish to get it back down to the aluminum (thats the silver you see). I am going to carry the Tribal theme throughout this whole build.
