I prefer a receiver pack, but they are a pain, I haven't found one that will go a whole day without needing to be charged. That said, the TQ booster works great, just slightly lower voltage. The Protoform AMR is the body for !/12TH, but the new Black Art Mohawk is gaining a lot of converts. See what your competition is using.

You can use any 17.5, but go easy on the boost and check your motor temps frequently until you're sure 8 minutes won't fry the motor.
