Where we race my lad uses a Speed Passion Reventon (race spec) speed controller and a 7.5 turn motor he is using foams which have a smaller wheel diameter than mini pins so it runs a little slower and he won the A final two weeks ago and came second last week only down to breaking his car on the last lap. What budget have you got in mind?

Here you go swell a whole thread on the discussion at club level seems to be an advantage for the 4wd racers; personally I run 2wd and have tried foams but couldn't see a great benefit cost wise as I'm a crap racer was forever knocking chunks off the fronts but you do seem to enjoy better grip levels I've since gone back to using rubber but my lad still swears by his foams.
