2. Losi Strike SC with Castle Sidewinder 4600 with lipo 30c

I am kinda intermediate with little race experiece. the place I race at now doesn't have motor or battery limitations but I want a setup that will be able to race anywhere. At least with extra parts on hand.

I'm thinking that the buggy needs a brushless setup. I don't know how the sidewinder fits into the roar rules or what motor I can run to make it legal. Beyond all that I am lusting after a better kit for my SC. What would you do? What classes would you run?
I'd recommend attempting to run what you currently have in the Buggy and SC classes available at your local track and have fun racing RC! If interested in upgrading electronics, there are many top name brand packages to consider. I chose Tekin ESC's www.teamtekin.com and Murfdogg Synergy Motors www.murfdogg.com, for their outstanding performance, reliability and unsurpassed customer service. You would be pleased with any of the current brands available, as technology has advanced alot since the brushed days. Hope this assists you with your futrue decisions in elec packages and RC endevors!
