Going by the description I'm sure it's performance is at least adequate!!!

it was very fast untill it striped the coupling in around 3 mins of being out on the lake iv droped the esc down to a 30A and running it on only one buggy pack now to try and make the motor last abit longer and i have time to charge the packs back up

sounds quick then if it can strip couplings !

jimbob · 21-09-2007

yes it was had to do some changes and move the motor and the prop shaft to put a solid coupling so im hoping its not changed it it shouldn't of but taking it out tomorrow
