Brushless and Lipo's, the only way to run electrics. I have a mamba 6800 and an Electri-fly 1500mah 7.4v lipo pack in my 18t and the thing will run for about 20-30 minutes on hard dirt. It moves WOT at a SCREMING 47.8 mph, my friend is a CHP. I think if you put double Mambas, and 1800mah 11.1v lipos you will have run times 15+ min and a FAST little mini.
i have heard soo many horror stories about Lipos that i'm afraid to use them! Blowing up while driving, burning houses down.
