Two questions: Trakpower LiPo running time and what servo's?

[dirtrider]

Hi,

've been out of the RC world for ages now but I'm thinking of starting again... especially the ZX-5 SP attracts me because when I was young I had a Optima MID SE and I really really loved that car (too bad I don't have it anymore )

I was thinking about using a brushless system (e.g. Mamba Max?) but other tips are welcome. Low maintenance is important and ease of installation.

As for battery, LiPo attracts me more then NiMh, but what are the running times with a battery nowadays? I remember with my Optima you had 10 - 15 minutes of fun maximum and that was it...

For servo's I still have a S3003 I can use but tbh this is not my first choice, does the ZX-5 require a metal gear servo or is this overkill?

Thanks for any advice from you pro racers

Cheers,
