Much more power, wheelies are no problem and good speed. I had issues with the ESC though, it does not recognize 5S lipo automatically, the ESC thinks its a 6S, tried to manually program it for 5S but I could not find the setting, its supposed to be setting number 12.. I settled with turning the Lipo cutoff down to 2.6v (15.6 volts) works perfectly for the 5S pack, cuts off at 3.1v per cell. I Need to watch it with lower packs.
Awesome, its doing great - nothing broken yet. Wheel came flying off twice, the wheel hub pin disappeared, even after I put loctite on it and made sure they where tight. There is nothing holding the hub on the shaft except the pin& set screw. If this keeps happening I may replace the pin with a screw and nut or find better hubs to replace the stock parts. Pinion gear on motor has come loose 4 times.
How do you like it with the new 5s?
