Recommendation on a setup

[Finnster]

I like all of jhautz's suggestions for both ends of the spectrum. If you are going racing, I would try to save for the higher end system, and it would be more reliable (ie less heat) in the long term.

You may or may not need the Evo 20s, they are the nicest lipos, but really what you are saving is weight, so its something to consider. Don't fool w/ NIMH, lipos really are worth it. The Neus are great.
