2. does it accept regular 2s Lipo stick packs?
Yes, after much anticipation, the car is available now. Order away! As far as the battery's are concerned, yes to that as well. The car is actually laid out to accommodate 2 'regular' hard or soft case stick packs in a saddle formation. No need to go out buying new VERY expensive batteries if you have 2 identical stick packs kicking around already.
On to the motor/esc question... Don't rule out the Hobbywing ESC and Caster's own Fusion 2000KV motor. The new 2000KV Fusion motor is compleeetely revamped to compete with the better known national brands. It's built for racing, and those who have been using them have all given terrific feedback on them. And...they are far less expensive. Up to you though man. Enjoy your Fusion!
