Anyway my questions are:-
what is best, a high rev or high torque motor for 10.5 blinky
Ran 3 x 8min runs and tyres wear is totally parallel, is that normal are my castor (5) /camber (1) /toe out angles (.5) correct.
lap times in the second half of run were 0.4sec slower than at the start, is that due to addative, batteries or the motor getting hot (60deg)
Is it normal for for you hands to look like you have just done a oil change on the gearbox of a coal truck.

Another welcome!
Everything Chris says is correct. It is possible that it is the cells causing the drop off though, I have known it in the past. How much did you need to put back into them when recharging?
Yep, tyre wear and settings are fine. If you are running a new XL keep checking and adjusting for slop in the front end for the first few runs, top and bottom pivot balls. It should settle down quite quickly though.
Yes it is normal for your hands to get like that! Keep a full pack of baby wipes handly and don't be afraid to use them!
