I have a few question tho, whats the difference between the lightingF and Flash04? What battery setup do people use? 1S, 2S, shorty packs? regular packs?

Thanks
Flash 04 is the older model. I have been told it is a very easy car to drive. I beleive the Lightning is faster though. Started with forward battery 2s shorty lipo. Switched to rearward battery but I never got to back to back it so I cant clearly say better or worse but it's working well in the rear and that seems to be the more common setup. Can't say if you can fit a regular pack in as I haven't tried
