When I said copy Mikes truck, I meant more that he should set it up the same whay with the chassis, suspension, diffs etc. Mike seems to have it dialed.

It sounds like he has locked in on the Lehner/BK motor and esc combo. To me creating a power system that is capable of racing is not the challenge. The Lehner and Neu motors are definately both up to it. And with the esc he is talking about there should be no issues there. Only downside to the BK controllers is that you need an external LVC for lipo.
