I run 2200 or 2250 kv motors with SMC’s lightweight 4S, 5800mAh HCL-HCV hardcase packs. A servo of about 500 oz-in works well. I like Schumacher spiral (spike) tires, or AKA I-beams, or similar. In a pinch, badlands, but they’re heavy. I run tallish gearing with good fans so it screams but doesn’t overheat.
