Hincappe is SPOT ON! I run 5000, 7000 and 3000 in the rear. 2,500 in the rear would give you a bit more steering.

I race the Total Control Hobbys ([link=http://tchobbys.com]http://tchobbys.com[/link]) Mugen Seiki MBX5-R chassis FYI. I could run any chassis that the hobby shop can buy and I choose MUGEN. That speaks volumes for Mugen.
