Built this is for TCS so all tamiya parts:
tt02-r Kit
oil kit shocks with small spacer
Full steering kit
Adjustable arms
Silver can 540
Tamiya Kit tires
64/29 spur pinion
Tamiya kit tires have very little grip, so I'm surprised you would encounter hopping while turning when driving around on asphalt, which is a very loose surface to begin with. What's your spring set up? You don't want too stiff, and generally slightly softer in the rear for that rear traction. Also, aluminum 2.5 or 3 degree rear hub toe in may help if you don't have those already on.

I've got a couple of 6500mAH GensAce shorties I use in my RC10B7 but I would need to order some foam to keep them from bashing around in the tray heh. Was thinking to just buy a pair of 6100 full size GensAces for it, but I ran across a lot of pics of folks with 5000mAH in it. Is that going to cut down power in the last bit of the race or does everybody get by with that? Just curious to see what everyone is using and making it through a race with.
At my carpet track, we run 5 minutes and I probably use up to roughly 40% of the battery, using a 5000mAH stick pack and for me, it's been pretty consistent with no drop in output towards the end of the heat. Try what you have first and see how much is used after each run, and if there are any noticeable drop in outputs in the last minute of a qualifier or race (which I highly doubt you should encounter).
