Cold conditions effecting the battery and servo and ur gun

Loose the deans plug for a xt90 or similar. Your main issue IMO is, it is way too cold. Lipo's can't discharge large amounts of current in cold temperatures.

Despite all the #'s that were ran, this is just one more example of how Amazing the Traxxas Valineon System really is! (IMHO). I currently own some 'nice' Brushless systems, but usually default back to the VXL system for my 1/10 scale bashers. Even in non Traxxas vehicles! I know lots of people have had failures or burnt up VXL stuff, but a $10 temp gun, correct gearing, a strong motor fan go a Really Long Way! Not to mention giving the vehicle a cool down break here and there, but I know the last one is Really hard to do!

You got 48.2 mph becoz, these dboot wheels are of a less diameter. So per revolution the distance travelled is less, thus speed is less. It needs a substantial amount of gearing up, if you are using this motor. If you use a motor of a higher kv , you may not need to increase the gearing that much.
