Actually Kevin, a VXL or mild Mamba and decent 4000-4600mAh pack (7.2 or 7.4 volt) wouldn't be out of line price wise and give plenty of performance to make things exciting. Bubba Racing and I were bashing with his Mamba 5700 on 4000mAh 7.4v (True RC IIRC) Li-Po Slash and my VXL Powered Pede on a Orion Rocket Pack 4500 7.2 Ni-MH after the August 23 SCRC comp and we had plenty of power to get ourselves in trouble performance wise. I bought the VXL new and his Mamaba was second had, but we were pretty well matched so long as we had traction and I could keep the front tires (as well as the rear) on the ground
