i'm such a re-n00b at this... Last raced RC10s in the 80s.

Got a new B44 and have been loving every moment of it.

I got a Novak 6.5 brushless with GTB and have been pleased beyond dreams.

I can only drive maybe 50% throttle on the street.... It's got that much oomph. I tried to get a 7.5 L (light) but they were backordered and I got a really good deal ($125 off) the 6.5+GTB kit at the shop.

I just installed my Lipo 5500 pack..... good lord. Can anything be so much fun? My motor is running so cool I think I have it undergeared (but it's still too fast) it's finishing around 40-45 C where it should be in the 80 deg (Celsius) range. Running 20 pinion / 84 spur.

I cannot imagine how those guys/gals running 5.5, 4.5, 3.5s and mambas even stay on the track.

I drive in blue groove conditions, and it's hard enough to keep the incredible car at 60-75% throttle for more than a second or two.
