I won't go into details, but lost all my RC's over the past years, due to a bad patch I went through. long story short I'm in a better place now and wanting to get back into RC's. I been keeping up and liking what I see overall, thinking of either a mini E revo or Rustler 2wd for starters. This as many of you guys know, probably won't be conventional. I still like low KV/high volt setups and will eventually be headed that way, just need some information

#1. Anyone know the weight of the traxxas 550 12 turn motor in the brushed version of the mini E revo? I'll be looking to go brushless and wanting to cut weight if possible while maintaining the 540 size. I can go with the 380 size if needed, but the 550 is cheaper to get initially (Don't want too much junk to throw away or have to sell)

#2. What are the best of the cheaper batteries, my plan is 4-6s setups, aiming for efficiency over raw power. The cheaper the batteries, the higher I can go in voltage for the money, but will not sacrifice quality or safety.

Appreciate any info you can provide hope to be a regular once again
