I'll second that - in my Team C I have a 14T Orion and it is very quick - much faster than what I could handle (although I was out of the RC game for slightly longer). Unless the track has a very long straight you won't notice the reduced power as it will be more than enough in the in-field. Even on the long straights you will only notice a small top end difference between you and a seriously quick car. But, too much power in the windy bits and you will lose lots of time. And tyres
