We don't mind helping, but what you seem to be doing is just to boost your count. You come on here, asking this vs. that questions and "how fast?", "how much??" I'm through with your threads. Welcome to my ignore list. Please use more courtesy in the future.

"How fast","How much","Brand X versus Brand Y" are all legitimite questions coming from someone who is just getting into this hobby. Experienced RCers asked themselves the same questions when they started. Sometimes, they just don't remember their newby days.

Okay, siince when is a person's post count a measure of his knowledge or experience on the subject? It shouldn't! Whatever a persons's post count does not matter so it shouldn't be an issue.
Next. $840 ?????????? No body says you have to start with pro level equipement just to race. You could race for less than $400. That would cover the cost of a good RTR sedan (i.e. Losi XXX-S or AE TC-3 or TC-4) plus a decent charger and (2) base level NiMh packs and a cheap bulb discharger.
When you start, are you gonna be racing in Sporstman class???? Probably not. You'll most likely be starting in novice class learning th stay in the middle of the track consistently throughout a 4 minute race which is no problem for any base level 3300 or 3700 pack. Don't worry you will definitely make time without dumping. With you being so busy trying to concentrate on how to control you car and drive a better line than your competitor, you will not have the time to figure out all the tuning options on a pro-level car or radio.
Concentrate on driving not the equipment

DAMN STRAIGHT!!
Well said my man
Thank god we participate in a hobby where there is no monopoly on products and options. I love it that there are up to a dozen different cars, motors, batteries (more recently) and body options and combinations that are all as good as each other adn we can pick these according to our driving styles and visade!!

I totally agree with YR4Dude & Kennedy. The losi or the associated rtr are great choices. Just keep away from maxamps, try hefty cells or hurricane motorsports. They both have great cells and are same price or cheaper than maxamps. There is no need to spend $840.00 to get started. You spend that much & don't like it your in trouble. When you try to sell it later you might get a little over half of what you paid.

So by using the Much more motor cooler,the motor will start off freezing and will come back not as hot as normal run previously.

As far as a heat sink on the motor goes it will help a lil bit. but remeber when you install it make sure that the cooling holes in the can are not blocked. I think a better alternitive is to install some onboard cooling fan or fans.
just my 2 cents
