Thanks for the info Steve. Yep, its a bit ugly but its a heck of a nice system. What is that gear and wheels?

With the stock motor and 2s 1500, I only get about 8-10 minutes of really weak performance. My cells only take about 1000 mah after flying until cutoff, too. I dont know whats wrong, but its not much fun compared to well, anything. Im picking up a 3s today.
