So based one the more speed thing and limiting it to start with.
Is this a good combo? (Hobbyking 6100kv / 100a esc)

With you being able to limit the throttle, acceleration, etc with the programming card.
Looks like its lipo only though or would it work with NiMH for a month while I save for a lipo & charger.
