We are having a contest here in MD this weekend. Feel free to come on down. Your are talking about the right motor. I didn't realize it was that much more. That is my fault. At one time I know the Silver Bullet was 219, and I was thinking the HiMax was 239 or something. Prices do change though. I personally don't fly the Vanquish any longer. I have a pair of Nuances that I fly now. I did the Vanquish build thread, but a friend is actually flying the plane now as he lost his last year. Anything of 20C or high is more than adequate for normal pattern flying. I know a lot of guys have had good luck with the Sky Lipo and Blue Lipo stuff from Hobby Partz. The F3A unlimited packs are a little more expensive, but not as expensive as the top end stuff, and their stuff works awesome. F3A unlimited is in northern, VA near Dulles airport. I know they will be at my contest this weekend and you would see a lot of different setups and I'm sure a Vanquish or two, and a couple of Monologs. All with varying setups. Come on down and ask any question you'd like. Upper classes will run better packs as they tend to hit them much harder. I fly 5-6 days a week though, so I'm always available if you want to come down.
