(By the way, do you know how the lipo cutoff works? will the radio system alert me or will the esc just stops?)

For the batteries and chargers - what shall we buy?
Would you say to go for the initial carger you recommended? (imax b6)
I presume for the exo rtr 3S lipo and for the lx2e 4s lipos. but what is recommended in terms of driving time? What will be the driving time on these batteries?

I am still trying to understand the motor-esc-battery matching but i do have some questions:

For the mamaba combo i saw that in the same price there is a 2650kv combo as well. I assume that it meant for different applications when one gives lower speed with higher torque. but i also see that the motors have different voltage input. what it means? why should i prefer one over the other?

If let's say the ESC is 100A, theoretically speaking - will a 5000mah 20C will give me more driving time then a 4000mah 25C? or do i get all this concpet wrong?

I do have many more questions, but i feel its time to drive a car. I hope i am not bothering you with all my questions as I feel it became rather a private tutoring then a forum discussion. I really appriciate all your replys, you are my RC guru.

by the way, i just bought a nissan qashqai for the family, it was easier and faster then buying these RC cars.
