Dude, if there was a somebody who got you into RC and helped you learn that mentality... make sure you thank them !
You're a poster boy for the proper way to approach this class. Have fun, take time to REALLY learn about setups and DRIVING. Down the road when a newbie asks you the best way to get started and progress...you'll be able to answer in the best way possible. Good Job !!

First let me be clear here, The Mi1 is a great starter car for VTA. As I have stated I have won a few and lost a few (parts issues).
first My wife and 7 year old daughter saved the money for this 6.1 that I could never buy on a whim. Second I had a choice to make. Given the 6.1 and the Mi4x were about the same price she let me pick.
The Mi cars are bullet proof to say the least. However parts ARE an issue here in the states and I am not paying 15 bucks extra to have a part in a day when I can drive 2 miles to buy it at m LHS.
I got a GREAT deal on my Mi1 220 with new motor and ESC The car new is 150 and the ballistic with edge2 was 160. The Class is cheep to get started but as a racer we all want the newest toys. I started with nothing. I now have 4 cars 2 Mi1's 6.1 and a xxxs. Needless to say if i brake a care I have 3 i can fall on just in case.
total cost of about a grand in cars and stuff.
When asked what is the best way to get into our class, hobby or sport the best answer I give is
Google USVTA look at the rules. Go to RC tech. find your self any 4wd chassis they are rather cheep. Also look for radios and transmitters and if you can find it a transponder for lap counting. In the end total cost if you are lucky is 4-6 hundred start off.

Great thanks I was worried that if I put it on the battries that they
Would go over 5000 mah and 95c
And if i put it on my chassie then I would have some kind of
New chassie and old lint reaction and then I would have to
Run a pan car class and hit 88 mph to bring me back to VTA
Would go over 5000 mah and 95c
