Based on what I see in the ME16, I would say get a LS10 or LSGT10 before one of the ME10s. The ME16 and ME10 look to be identical to me with the exception of a longer chassis on the 10 is all. They are for sure "sport" grade rcs. Somewhere in between what we call RC and what Wallmart calls RC. If you can scrtch a good deal on one maybe, but for the $200+ price tag you will be better off with one of the tried and trues IMO. Besides that. The conversions give you alot more battery options than these. They litterally only can fit stick packs. The Orion pack that was pointed out would likely fit.... but the stupid battery will cost more than the whole car cost me . I'll find some sort of low cost lipo alternative for it eventually.
