You'd probably be better off with batteries from a smaller matcher, and I and most others prefer the IB batteries (3800 or 4200).
The Futaba S9602 is a good servo.
If you're going to get the sphere you might as well get a brushless motor to go along with it, especially if you're not going to be doing organized racing. If you're going to be racing with others just get what they're using as far as motors go. Decide what motor you want and we can help you with gearing.
Are you sure that's the size of the track, is it just two long straights and two hairpins?
The twister 2.1 is a good ESC but probably not a good choice for someone new to electric since in order to get the most out of it you should get the setup tools that go along with it.
Thanks for the replies guys.
About the 1.40", I think those are the wheels. The tire size is 47mm high.
I look into those IB batteries. Do those batteries last long? I heard that some batteries last longer than others even if they're, I don't remember if it was charged or discharged, at a high rate.
The track was actually once a full size outdoor basketball court. It has some sort of antiskid coating on it. Kinda like sandpaper. When I run my NTC3 on it with rubber tires, you can hear the tires squeak. What kind of tires would you recommend for this surface? Firm?
If I was to go completely brushless, should I go Novak or LRP? And which one? I wanna be able to run it in my RC10T3. Its go an 12T in it now.
