I've got one as well. 8S/2280 is definitely overkill. I think you'd be more than impressed with a 1717 (newer version from the X01), MMM 6S and larger diameter HPI Baja wheels/tires. Grab a pair of 6S 5000mah lipos to run in parallel and you'll have a 1/5 race-ready rig that should do fair combat with anything else currently out there.
