The only thing I'll be using my laptop for is to add a little boost to pull you down the straight! But hey, you can always gear up to keep up.

If your desperate enough you could easy pay for a RC8BE for 3 payments of $133.33 at Tower Hobbies, no credit check. That would get you the roller anyway.

That servo should do a pretty good job for ya and the good news is if it fails you have 4 more to replace it with!

Don't know much about the carbon chassis.
