Thanks for the mention of the Xray berger, but one of the deciding factors in my final choice of candidates was price, and I think the mission and XXX-S are about the kind of money I am looking to spend.
At the moment I am leaning towards mission due to durability and also because it's something different to look at as opposed to another XXX-S. Regarding breaking, my fiance got a broken rear hub carrier on his Losi from a smack into a moving object, and he had mentioned that they seem to be a little less rigid than he might like.
I think i may end up going for a reverse cut off speed controller, just so that I have the option of reverse if I need it. The suggestion of turning it off while actually racing is probably a good idea, due to the amount of fast moving traffic that's always on the racing line.
And for Ian S, I am in Worthing in the Southeast
