I am using four 2s lipos, running 2 per esc in parallel.

The videos were done while I was driving it for the first time. I bought it 2 days before I went on vacation so I really didn't have anytime to work on setting it up. Wet sand, rocks and climbing don't really mix, several times in the videos the tires are slipping because I couldn't get enough traction to climb.

I am looking for some brushless motors with more torque and also some different batteries. But overall I was impressed with it. I just wish I had taken my AX10 with me, so I could compare them. O'well there is always next year, but wait I could hit the rocks at the river and see how it does with the new setup.
