Hey Gary,

The RC10 B4.1 seems to be a popular buggy at Drop-Inn with quite a few racing round every meeting, and much more than once Ive been amazed at how strong they are when they hit the walls! they seem to be built like tanks.

However, in my own opinion, the Reedy 3300kV motor is too slow for anyone but a complete newcomer. Im sure that because you have raced before, and bash around with the nitro that a more powerful motor might be better.
THe 3300 equates to roughly a 13.5 turn motor.
I believe alot of people seem to have good success with a 10.5 turn motor as this seems to give a good balance of flat out speed, and smooth, low end torque.

However, Im no 2WD expert, so "Eda" or one of the other 2wd maestros on here will shed more light.

As for batteries, go for your 2s Lipo and you wont go far wrong. Capacity wise, Im running 5400mAh and I can get about 2 races out of these, so I think anything over 3300mAh and you should easily have enough juice for a race, while not being too large that you cant get fully charged before the next race.
It also depends what fits in your car, and again, I dont know what batteries fit or not in the RC10.
