Anyone who understands this, please let me know what you think about the weight dist. etc. Thanks!

Yeah, this is what you're talking about...except it's dual 4s 4200mah batteries. nearly 30 min runtime and ludicious speed but controllable on the track as opposed to 6s batteries





Works for Truggy too...
