On the battery topic, I use full size lipo's and have since I started. With the original 05 it was out of having to. But with the V2 its a matter of choice as they can be used in the TC and F1 as well. With the V2 for some reason with a full sized square pack the car balanced perfectly without much fuss. I had thought about a shorty for offsetting the motor weight but after putting the car on my balance board found out it wasn't needed. My mini is a bit over weight at present with a 6500mah pack in it, but am reserving judgement on putting it on a diet till I can get a proper run on it. No doubt though I will buy a lower mah pack for it at some point.
