Looks good man, I have done lots of testing and tried LOTS of motor combos.

My favorite by far is a mamba max, a vxl motor, 3s, 9 tooth pinion and stock summit spur.

It hauls ass in second, and still crawls surprisingly well in first. Temps stay under control, and runtimes kickass. It's by far the best setup I have ran.

I have been running the TP 2000mah packs but I still think I need a bigger C battery.

I just put a summit trans in a TR, yes, under the dingo body. I only ran it twice so far. I am only using a 1300 30c battery I'm not sure now if they are enough. I tried this Fantom Motor and so far I am impressed with it's performance with a 18t pinion and MM speedo. The MM was still set for full crawler dragbrake, and my first outing resulted in a huge endo.

It seems a bigger power supply may be in order, I will be giving it a thorough beating on Sunday, so we will see what happens.

I was correct. With that setup, I puffed a 2000mah pack Saturday. I did run it till the esc shut if off though, and mostly WOT.

Now I just have to decide which way to wire up the plugs so I can run 2 packs.........6s at 2000mah or 3s at 4000mah.
