brushless is one, on road tires, and if you go brushless go LIPO or LiFe and you will def kill your buds little t-maxx.. hahah have fun doin 80mph past him..lol

The Mamba Monster, 2 good 2s packs and some skills will smoke your buddy's nitro. 3s packs if you wanna get real nuts. Be ready to do some drive line upgrades if you plan to run 6s.

The only thing that matters is your ESC/Motor and battery. I would just get a decent Mamba System or a Castle Creations system. But the Lipo`s are expensive and dangerous. And the only thing upgrading the Radio does is makes your response time for when you hit the throttle alittle quicker.

The price has come way down on the LiPo batteries in the past couple of years. The safety issue is not as bad as you make it out to be. You can overcharge them and that can be a bit exciting, but if you remove them from the charger you should be okay.

Lipos are so cheap now that I can see no point in sticking with nimh's. Check out hobbyking.com. Look at the Rhino packs. Chargers are dirt cheap also. With a low voltage cutoff and the proper charger, safety isn't of any real concern. You just have to keep the volts in they're happy place. And don't over work the packs by gearing too high or running in tall grass.

+1 Yeah I forgot about that site. Speaking of that thats where I bought my Turnigy charger from. Its all the same stuff its just different name brand and I think its made in a different country but idk I havent worried about were they are located. But yeah its been a while since I've toyed with lipos.
