just make sure you get batterys that will fit. many of today's square case lipos don't fit in the HPI F1 chassis. A few brands do fit, but most don't. So it's important to pick batterys that will fit unless you don't mind modifying the chassis with something like the exotec conversion. A $70 mod to a $90 car does seem a little extreme. So you'll want to be sure that your batterys will fit.

This Lipo will fit only the Exotec Conversion.

You can only use round Lipos like the orion or the new lrps.

Get the Bridgestone Potenza tires in the S compound. The kit tires are useless.

Thanks for the link,I love the orange finish on the parts along with the hex screws instead of phillips,i can run the dynamite 6000mah now i think.

But dont forget the orange parts are not included with the exotec chassis conversion.
The other parts are original hpi hop ups.
