okay so i got lucky and managed to find a car locally so already have it (pics attached - although it's a VBC Lightning 10M and not the 10X). I have a few questions i'm looking for some advice on:

- For running on a full size 1/8 style outdoor track is there any major disadvantage (or advantage) in running this car with a full stick pack instead of a shorty pack - can the car easily be configured for this or is it really designed for a shorty only? The reason i ask is that I'm new back into rc and also picked up a TC (VBC D06), so ideally it would be handy if i can use the same lipos across both car platforms (since i still need to buy lipos). Therefore i'm trying to decide if i'd be better just buying shorty's and running both cars on shorty's, or should i buy full stick packs and run both cars on stick packs (instead of having one of each type)... I'm not seriously racing, more just for track driving and maybe some club-level racing in the future (where i'm sure my driving will be the biggest handicap).

- I'm needing to get an ESC and motor to suit the 10M - as the track i drive is a fast outdoor 1/8 track - i'm thinking to get a 4.0-4.5T motor (tuned down on my TX while i get the hang of things) as that would allow me plenty of opportunities to speed her up in the future when i roll out to full power on the TX. Do note i also have a 17.5 i can drop-in from my TC while i get up to speed. Does a 4T +/- make sense and if i were to get a second motor what would you suggest (i.e. 6.5 or 10.5)? What turn motor is common for those running/ racing pro-10's on 1/8 outdoor tracks?

- My car didn't come with a front bumper or any spares - so i may need to do an order from VBC online (no parts seller where i live) - what minimum parts spares would you typically suggest I stock?


Any other tips from glancing at my car?


Thanks!
