I knew a guy who ran the original car. The chassis was too short. I think they fixed that with the new car. It is not a bad platform but have not really seen it in the hands of a pro to see what it can really do or how durable the car is. The Kyosho ZX5 is a neat looking car.

Was just going to run 2wd buggy, but might get one of these as well

Roar will not approve new cells until next year. The Jimmy decided to run any cell that is NiMh this year though due to the problems of last year. GP is making the 4600 I think. Have not heard anything good or bad about the cells yet.

KW--great thread, great batteries.
About the SB V2, being a former Academy driver, the SB V1 had rough track issues, well, I did with it anyways. I have the new SB V2 Pro car and will be running it in the JBRL. Casper is right, local hobby shop support is needed for any car that will be campaigned regularly. I ordered quite a bit of parts from Stormer for the car, and I know MRC can supply them also. The new car is longer, has the front kick up built into the chassis, and the Pro version has all the alloy and graphite you could ever want...sorry didnt mean to hijack the thread. If you have more questions, there is an SB V2 thread on this site.
Keith, see you in Bakersfield. I may need to pick some Slingshot batteries up, just so I can keep up with you fast guys.

I wanted to tell you that the batteries have been holding up great with all the abuse. I am glad the EP cells are working out!
