So the speed limit is the chassis nowadays. Do not use the hottest motor combination you can find in the shop, you just won't benefit. I'm speaking as an average club racer, any of you Jedi drivers feel free to step in if you see it different.

Brushless & Lipo has made it all much nicer to live with. No cycling of cells, no dumping, no brushes, not so fussy on gear ratios, etc.
A massive help thanks you

Do tell? And what are the charge bags all about? do the blow up often?
