Judging by your list of cars Welshy, I'd say we have the same issue because we grew up racing the same stuff
I might just have to build something retro and put lipos and brushless in it
Is there much difference with C ratings on lipos? I get the impression a lot of the power from high ratings and faster motors etc has to be turned down in the name of traction anyway?? For example, do 100C lipos have to be turned down, so why bother buying more than 35C?
