Yeah I know, I've been away from brushless for a while, not new to it in any sense though. On top of my old hacker setup I've owned the Novak system (the 1st one released) which I ran in a 10th buggy and 10th drift car, and an Aveox 1409/1.5 with the L160 controller in a light weight max.
As for setups I'm currently looking at the quark controller and probably run 8 cells, or if I get enough work in the next month or so a lipo setup but I'll make that final decision upon inspection of the car and weight distribution.
