RE: WOW! What a difference a break-in makes!
Speed400s are sweet! Have you installed them yet? You'll definitely need a fan for those motors! I ran my Pershing with them one day without the fan and blew 1 of 4 transistors trying to pivot deep in sugar sand. The motors now reside in the BullDog and the results are well documented on it's build page.
See my builds for a variety of wiring diagrams.
