[tc3_racer_001]

i went with the 2d, some say its too fast, i will see when i get it. i got a hyper 8.5 pro :) and having some issues, which you wont have... a spur may be a good idea (need gasket thingys)

30 minutes is a long time... i went for a123 cells, which will last the same or longer than a 5000 lipo pack (as i can use almost all of the capacity)

hope this helps,
ryan :)

ill also be racing against v specs, where anouts in the the world are you (im guessing europe or australia, as hypers dont seem too popular over in the states...im from australia)
