I was just fooling around outside today in between heats at the carpet track. Won't have a real track to race on for a couple months. The graph above was on dusty asphalt with Pro-Line Road Rages.

It should be pretty close. The servo weighs around 2 oz, the speed control is 2.5 oz and the receiver is half an ounce. The A123 cells weigh 70g/cell or about 2.5 oz each. As long as I can find a...

You are correct, I was referring to the 1930/1940 motors. I'm trying to keep the weight and current draw down and hadn't really considered the larger 1950 or 1515 motors.
