Hi Mark (and Rob)! Yeah, you need some decimals or kph to measure the difference if the NiMH is freshly charged. But it did seem to have some more punch and acceleration on the LiPo. That’s pretty much the only difference I can feel when switching. Well, apart from the fact that the LiPo keeps the voltage up much much better in the long run. Anyways.

I think the retrition is in the gear ratio and motors. The LiPo will give a bit more kick, but mAh only effects run time. You need to look at the C rating discharge rate also the ESC will only run at a certain Amp load rating. Get the Hobbywing 840 I think it is.

Hiya mate. I did think you might get an extra mph out of the lipo. It's a shame that the GPS meter doesn't do fractions of mph because it might have gone from 10.0mph to 10.8mph or something like that. Looks much quicker and more fun off road. Be good to squeeze a bit more speed out of it but still good as it is. Great vid mate. Hope you are enjoying the sunshine 😁☀️

I recently stuck 2 Robitronic 27t modifieds in the Clod. They're a bit faster on 2s ( not blistering, think 12 to15 mph) than the silver cans on 3s. I the "days of yore" the go to motors were Orion 19t doubles @ 0 degrees with a Novak Rooster ESC. Nowadays the better brushed motors ( there are still some quality ones) are much more efficient, and deliver more power, so I'd dare say that two 21t double's would do just as well. You'd want the double-winds, because they deliver power more smoothly, making the Clod more manageable, less "jolty" ( if that's even a word.. 😋 )

Unless you go for 3s and more, which probably not fit the clod, the 0.2v on rather modest motors, can not provide additional mph. Im guessing the acceleration you feel is also maybe due to lower weight with lipo? I fully agree with the safety advantage of nimh.
