Great thread guys thanks to all of you.

It sounds like I will be going 5.6xl. I like the sound of the more stable chassis. I like big and lots of power but want a semblance of control on the wheelies. I am also a tinkerer and don't mind if I have to change the engine at some point or mod the tranny.

I have an LRP .30 X the competition version and have been told it has great RPM and lot's of torque. In fact I'm putting one in my SC8.

All the information that I recieved from you guys would have taken months without this forum thanks alot.

The one thing that confuses me is that how can a .28 Picco or an Lrp .3 compete with a .36 engine? Is the better quality able to deliver that much more power even from so much less displacement?

Have most of you switched out your radios and gone to 2.4MHZ?
