Yes, that was Snell that I was racing...I tried going to mod-1 at one point with a Neu motor (and 2000 Watts). I found that the additional weight from the motor-ESC-battery took away from overall performance. I like it much better with a MM and the 1/8 motor, the car weighs in around 4lbs and 800 watts is fast and easily controllable. Running lighter, I am able to road race, drag race, or go off-road racing by just changing the tires.
