..thanks!
my 1:1, is a 1977. It has 23,500 original miles, and 350 miles on a recent engine rebuild. I had the engine rebuilt and upgraded w/ as many modern and high performance parts as I could. -I had the cam upgraded to a modern 911 turbo's, exhaust, head and intakes ported, etc.. The paint, interior, everything is all original and in mint condition. Long story, but in a nutshell, the original owner intended to race the car and had it ordered from the factory (back in '77) w/o a sunroof and a few other items. He never did race it, and let it sit in his garage for the first 15years of it's life. It had 3,000 miles on it in 1985. My dad bought the car in '85. I drove it to high school prom in '88!! -and as much as I could until my dad handed me the keys a couple years ago. He knew how much I loved that car (I had posters of it all over my room as a kid)! My dad is a bit older now and doesn't drive like he used to. Over the past 25 years we've managed to put about 1,000 miles or less on it per year. ...anyway the car weighs about 2500lbs and puts out around 400hp. Other than the engine upgrades I intend to keep the car as original looking as possible.
When I saw the CR'r w/ Porsche body I knew I had to get it and paint it red!

I need a little lipo help.
My CR has a sidewinder 4600kv and am not sure what lipo to get and which type will fit.
I'm looking at the SMC Sport Max 4500mah 28c. It comes wired.
My questions are...Does it matter which type I get, wired or the type that you plug the wires into? Does one fit better than the other?
Second, what discharge rate do I need? Would 25c or the 28c (above) be any better than a standard 20c?
Thanks for the help, I'm new to all this as you can tell.

Sweet A** 510! -Very nice job.
Hey, ...did your tires come w/ white lettering? (Mine did not -Porsche Kit). And I haven't seen them for sale w/ white raised lettering?
Mike from Exotek, -love your products! ...I plan on getting a chasis for my 1/18th Associated 18R if my wife doesn't get for me for Christmas! -that's my next project ...tweaking my 18R.

I'm second guessing my CC sidewinder 4600kv that I was going to put into my new cup racer. Is this going to be too much? I'm not racing but I also don't want something that is hard to control. Would Novak Havoc 13.5t be a little tamer??
How do these two compare?
thanks
