I think the stadium raider tires or the pajero tires would be more feasable.

Batteries
 
Was possibly looking to pick up a nice batt pack with punch but am not sure if the newer cells would fit in the Cooper. I currently have Matched GP3300 1.17's and would like to invest in a nicer stick pack for mains. Any suggestions? I am not sure if the higher capacity cells were slightly larger or not but prefer a pre-made stick pack anyway. Thanks!!!!

Just keep buying the cheap 3300 stick packs , dead short them and charge them up at 9 amps that's how my mini got so fast................. :lol:

Isnt dead shorting dangerous to the batts??? I saw a lot of racers doing it but (gives more power to the batts) it kills the batts slowly..

I know that their size is bigger than the 3300's
