newbie help

Hi,

I'm just after a bit of advice after being out of racing for about 15years!! everything seems to be really technical now a days
Ive just picked up a nearly new schumacher cougar sv (only used twice) that is fitted with a etronix esc and motor combo 4370kv, is this kind of motor going to be competitive as im planning on racing it at the bury rc club, also what size battery would you recommend to use in a race meeting to last the duration of a race, it comes with 40c lithium polymer 7.4 5000mAh (2S1P) high performance battery (what ever that is) ha!!

thanks
