Hey all. After a 10 year plus layoff from RC racing, I've got the bug again and this car certainly has my attention. I'm curious, for 1/10th scale stock buggy racing, what's the general opinion as to how much capacity you need in a 2S pack? Would something in the 4000mah to 4500mah range be too small? Also what specs should I be looking for in steering servos for 10th scale buggy? Thanks for any advice you can provide.
For steering servos in 2wd buggies I like to stay below .10s transit and above 120 in-oz torque. Some of my favorites are the Reedy 1206, Reedy 1408, or Xpert PI-3402. All of those will be more than enough at 6v BEC. There are lots of other servos that exceed those specs so you should have lots to choose from to meet your taste/budget.

I've tried the Schumacher mini pins rear and stagggered rib fronts on my T5M. I found the fronts a little too bitey. Is that a word? It is now ;P I actually switched to AKA Chainlinks for the front.
For the B6 I'm going to try the new Jconcepts Pindowns in rear and Swaggers on the front. I saw JR Mitch testing them at the Extreme Carpet Initative a few months ago. He, Blake Boggs, and a couple of the fast guys were running them as prototypes. They look good, we'll see how they fare. I hope for some long life out of them.

Those were the days. Now we can go 20 minutes...I remember charging my Reedy Zappers...Or I think we'd get Orion's. Anyways, charging them at 6 amps on my BC-112C.
What a time to be alive.

B6 built to kit? Maybe try swapping the shocks to the back of the arm to calm down rotation.

I guess that was the point of my ask. It would seem in stock racing where weight is always talked about you would want to run with a pack that has lower capacity for that potential weight savings. However, when I see some of the buggies shown here and on other sites and guys are set up to run stock I'm seeing battery capacities over the 5000mah range.

I vaguely remember the black tekin. Didn't it have a giant heat sink?
I had the 112C and loved it. Then pops bought me the 112A to plug into the back. It worked so well.

It can be overvolted to 4.35V per cell, and has magnificent IR's when charged at 70 amps.

Haha. Those were the days. I remember at cactus I messed up and didn't realize my race was 1 or 2 away. I cranked my 112c to...10 amps? Battery was screaming hot and was hard to soldier in, but damn it was good.
