The SE is probably the toughest Mini out there out of the box ( the SE version) I beat on mine mercilessly and it doesn't complain too much (occasional arm and knuckle). The 4700 is an awsome motor with either a mamba 25 or quark 33, good power everywhere. The TP pack you linked will not work, its more for the 18T and too long for the MQ. You can't mod the battery box either, Either way you will hit either the steering or spur gear. You need a battery the size of a shot gun pack without caps,

Work because i gotta, play because i wanna
People here hate Nitro, I love it. I start it, run it about 50 ft from me and it dies, I go after it. Perfect exercise
