Jeff.. I ran the Stratus 2.0. I think the rest of the team ran the Losi body.
Bigdog.. Everyone will be able to get some of the cells. From what I understand the worst numbers SMC is getting are high 1.15's and 1.16's at 30.
Otto.. Even if you need to buy new batteries you only need to have 2 packs. I know thats still a decent amount of cash but its better then having to buy 5 or 6 new packs.
