I like the look of the 1920, its not totally beyond my budget. Mike, could you get hold of one of these? If so how much do you think it'd cost?

The Basic 4200 doesn't put out the power I want, I had a 5300 and that wasn't enough to push my truck well, my 6s does a much better job.

Gustav, the T2's a brilliant truck. I have fitted every RPM part to mine, ti turnbuckles, cvds etc and its really nice. I've been jumping it 6-7ft in the air onto concrete all afternoon at over 35mph and am well impressed. For some reason its a lot easier to land jumps with than my T3 or RC10GT ever are. Eventually I ripped some teeth off the spur (switching to 32p very very soon).

For parts availability isn't as good as newer trucks, but its not bad, 80% of parts are shared with the RC10GT, so they're really easy to get. The other 20% pop up on ebay from time to time, but I believe you can still order the parts from AE through any LHS for it. Worst case secarnio Tower Hobbies in the US stock most parts for it.

GP2200's I've thought long and hard about, but I already have 3 matched 8 cell GP3300 packs that I'm not in a hurry to replace, plus the 2200's are expensive for what they are. Wouldn't mind getting 18 or so of these in a T2 and watching it rip. Lipo's I'm thinking of as well, I'm trying to find a new charger for around £50 or so I can do lipo's with, currently looking at the Pro-Peak Mercuery as it does 1-4 lipo and 1-25 nimh all off 12v.

Sorry for the long post :)

Best part is it only cost me £21 with quite a few spares as well (and a complete oval kit).
