Cool mate. And it'll probably be fine. All I'm sayin' is be aware of it. Pick up an Infra-red thermometer (Duratrax has one for $25) and monitor battery, motor and ESC temps. I've had that Castle system. Monitor temps. Try an keep the battery under 100 (measured after a hard run), the motor under 180 (IMO under 170 for safety-margin) and the ESC under 125 or so. If your motor can be opened, first be careful not to loose any shims on the rotor, but inspect it once in a while, blow it out with canned air and clean and lube the rotor bearings.
