SHY, my friend, we had a regional race yesterday on a medium-grip dirt track and the MiD44 really shined
Awesome handling, jumping... the car is really fast, precise and predictable. A bit like a X-5, but with a reliable and fast tranny
You won't be disappointed, believe me !
Oh, I use the same cells, they are I-Power 4500. You can find them cheap on Fleebay, they feel much as good ol'4200 IB, same kind of brutal punch, with less self-discharge, it seems. I can't comment on the reliability, I only used them 3 times since I bought them.
