I've had pretty good luck with this build, with several games of 900+ damage. The speed is great with the biggest engine you can mount, which makes it an excellent build for flanking. Just let the initial fight develop and then use your speed to get to the flanks and start hitting the enemy from the sides and rear. It takes quite a bit of time to max the heat out so you can do a lot of damage before you need to withdraw and cool down for a few seconds. Carry a 9x9, and a 6x6 hotshot and you can extend your time even further.
