Btw (and sorry for this newbie question)...

• What 4S lipo's do you use (capa, realistic c-rates)? What is a good weight (assumtion: HW 3656 or Tekin Pro 4HD with RX8 Gen2)? Soft- or Cardcase?

Thanks for the hint! Because of personal reasons, I do not want use Castle stuff. Very bad experience (in RC Heli). I know, its not fully adaptable to RC Car stuff and not logically explainable. I just will never have a good feeling if "Castle" is written on it - event if the Mamba stuff looks OK.



Thanks! Makes sense! I think I change my plan form a S3 to a S4 setup. The minor problem I see regarding the motor:

• Hobbywing xerun 3656 -> lowest -> 3400kv
• Tekin suggests for 4S the 1850kv Pro4 HD motor

Now i'm a bit confused . Is the HW xerun out of the game on 4S? Pro4 HD 1850 is a bit on the low side. +/- 2200 would be the sweet spot, right? What would YOU go with on 4S (on a Tekin ESC):

1. Pro4 2400 / 15t
2. Pro4 HD 2500 / 15t ()
3. HW 3656/3400 / 11t

Thx a lot!
