thanks for the insight guys, looks like an inferno road conversion is the way to go, plus the gear RURC suggested.....45min, oustanding...im used to 4 - 5min runs (but then, last time i was into rc was 1200mh packs )

do I need to upgrade the car much? ie, highspeed bearings / metal arms etc.

dont need reverse, so I guess that means I use the brake system already there? or do I need to install a new one because the motor might take up that area?
