The power is fantastic, I have yet to see a nitro that would worry me. I'm not a huge nitro nut, and I am far from seeing them all, but I've seen a number and not one would I be jealous of. At the LHS, I ran it a bit with a guy w/ a truggy w/ a .27 Sirio, and another w/ a ~.28 or so Ofna buggy. My REvo was way faster than the truggy, and very much on par w/ the buggy. Maybe a bit faster accel, but not quite as much top end (at least on 4S lipos).

Click the links in my sig for some vids that shows off both 4S and 5S.

4s is a great setup unless you are a speed freak. Anything faster can only be driven on streets IMO. I have a 5S batt and it murders, but too fast for most things. What you really want it Tq and Accel, and BL had loads of it. Don't get to wrapped up in top speeds unless you just run your truck straight up and down the street.

TrueRC Lipos are also good for a very reasonable price. Not the C rating of Maxamps of FPs, but certainly good enough for bashing. If the lipos are rated for at least 100A continuous or so, you are good. The runtimes I get are bashing around. If you just drive up and down the road @ WOT then maybe 20-25min for 6400. and 30min+ for a 8000 mah batt. A123s are good if you are not the most careful person w/ your batts. I may get some of these next. A 5S2P 4600 mah pack would be great. Little more power than 4S lipo, little less runtime, but everyone I've seen its still really good. They are cheap enough you just get two packs then. :)
