I'd like to thank you guys for being patient with me. Your right about talking to people at the local track. They are very nice and informative. I spoke to a guy and he stated that most people are running the Hot Bodies Cyclone and the XRay T3 & another car that started with an "A", cant remember the name. He said it really doesn't matter what I get because they have parts for everything (American, I assume). He said they have a class for the 17.5 motors and I should go with that in the Tekin and the Tekin or LRP ESC. He said I would be fine with the T3 being that it is rather new and that they are coming out with a new hot bodies car in a few months. He mentioned handling wise they are pretty much the same and the Cyclone is a little less expensive. The local track is Speedworld (speedworldraceway dot com). Once again I apologize for being so anxious. Didn't realize they would be so helpful at the track.
