Staying up late I see! Me too. I'm trying to get my brother's Desert Rat body painted tonight so it'll be 100% dry and ready-to-go when his ESC get's here tomorrow afternoon.

Should be interesting to see how long it stays on the body, especially since its on the outside.

Alright, i've finally decided i don't like waiting roughly 2-3 hours to drive my Summit. what battery charger/lipo setup should i get. I'm probably gunna stay a bit on the cheap side considering i make $20 a month (allowance). so any insight will be super helpful!
-Thunder AC6 from hobbypartz: $45
-(2) Zippy 5000mah 20c 2s lipos from hobbyking: $12 a piece in US warehouse
i dont know why but i couldn't find those zippy batteries to save my life! could you give me a link?

http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...2S1P_20C_.html
Might be a little long, but for the price you could make 'em work!
do you think that i could possibnly go with as higher c rating? i think 20 might be a tad slow. idk though im a noob to lipo lol.

If you are running the stock system 20c is fine. I ran 20c 5000mah Turnigys (pretty sure same OEM) and they did fine on the brushed system. Now once I went brushless they got pretty warm, but nothing they couldn't handle. Sure, go with a higher rating, can't hurt, but no real need.
