I got my car today, not the exact one I was looking for but the TC3 racing kit from my hobby shop. I got a good deal and started building it tonight. I'm mostly done with the chassis, just waiting till I can figure out my electronics. I got the Stratus body because frankly, that's all they had in stock and It'll do the job for now.

I'm pleased with the way the body turned out actually. The speckled paint really looks nice in the light.

I looked at some brush-less setups and they look awesome but maybe I'll move up to something like that later. It's at least $200 for one of those systems and I'm sure it'll kill my battery pack of quicker.

Two more questions actually, what do you recommend for batteries? I saw 6 sanyo 3300's at my hobby shop today (non-matched) for $60 and thought about grabbing it. Should I? Also, anyone have experience with dying plastics? I want to dye my white plastic TC3 wheels black because of my light colored body. I don't think painting them would hold up well.
