if you want the kinetic, you may be waiting for awhile since novak keeps pushing the relese date. personally i think you should go for the tekin RS. very fast esc with the V203 software, very small and compact, and cheap!!! personally i wouldnt run the esc with the 203 software on it untill you learn a little more. you can burn up a motor real quick with the esc timming advance and turbo, and its a little much to digest when your new.
