We managed to give the Caster rtr Truggy a decent run last night he got about 20min run time from it with the 2x5000mah packs. It wasnt on a track but we drove it as hard as we could and I have to say I'm pretty impressed with it.

I think if anything its under geared as standard, its a wopping 62T spur and a 12T pinion seemed a little short on top speed and the motor and esc never got more than warm the hole time.
I'll leave the gearing for now as its better for him to control till he gets into it but I'm thinking it should be more like 14T/15T with the 1880kv motor?

I must admit after what Marv had said I expected the motor and esc to be cooking after 5min of full stick but so far so good, maybe thats the gearing though.
