Hey guys just joined

My last few cars quite a few years back were touring cars, and with all the excitement ive been reading about Brushless sytems I am anxiously looking to buy a new set-up. From the reviews and apparently ease of use I was planning on going with a Novak or Mamba setup, really I thought with its versatility the Mamba 5700 was my best bet. PLease let me know if I should go with an alternative. Now I need a chassis. I was thinking something simple like a AE T4 or B4 but am worried about the wheelie factor. maybe something 4x4. i dunno. I even looked into getting a TC4 or 5 for onroad.I know i am all over the place but I dont have that much experience with too many set-ups. I live in the Palm Springs, the desert but will probably be running on pavement most of the time. But I do have a nice local hobby shop track to go bash around on also, and of course off roading in the desert. Im thinking some kind of truck would be best for all around application. My main goal is simple fun, not too much tweaking on suspension and gearing, and long fast run times. Blistering speed is not my biggest goal. Also can you tell me how long the runtimes Bl setups get with non lipo just regular packs? If I need Lipo for long run times I could go that route but am worried about complications. Thanks for your support and sorry for all my questions?
