It's just a 17.5 Duo from Team Scream Racing (http://teamscreamracing.com/). The iphone camera in bad lighting doesn't always show the correct colors.

Wish they was racing 13.5 around here but they decided to keep the current motors they had and be a bit slower than NiMh. I think with the new battery technology it maybe about equal on the track vs NiMh so that's why I'm trying it out. Most people lost about .2-3 tenths when moving to the SMC LIPO earlier this year vs NiMh. Early reports on this new Thunderpower pack is it's .1-3 tenths faster than the SMC. If it proves to be a huge disadvantage I'm buying a few more NiMh to finish the rest of the points season.
