- 2S SMC 5000 40C (105€)
- 2S TP 5000 50C (100€)
- 2S Hyperion 4000 35C (80€)
- 2S Orion 3800 30C (75€)
- 2S IP 3800 35C (55€)

It's really needed to buy a 40C lipo? How big is the diference?

Another question. Rear Diff. loses grease while race, I can see grease in chassis and pulley. There is some fix about it?

Thank you.

P.D.: Sorry about my poor english :_
yes .. good english! 1350 grams et? Thats pretty light.
Those rules are making it almost impossible to ballence the car from side to side. run the smallest servo that can handle a T/C , the lightest possible reciever and speedo. But I would reconend the heaviest battery which will be either the SMC or the TP 5000's. I think thats way too light . 1450 g. should be good enough for rubber and still be balenced. Maybe 1350 would be good for foam, but foam is for pan cars. Good luck.
