Default ---RC18R questions--- battery, mamba and foam tires

So I am getting a RC18R tomorrow and I have some questions.

1. What lipo battery are you guys using?
2. Will the mamba motor and speed controller work with the stock electronics?
3. What foam tires can I use?

Sorry if these questions have already been answered. I did a search but didn’t come up with much. Thanks.

Yes, the Mamba works fine with the stock RX. You don't need a Lipo to make it fast. A good NiMh 6-8 and the Mamba gives it plenty of power.

(shameless plug) I have a Mamba combo for sale in the classifieds...
