Yea...speed runs are way fun - doing drag style passes with the Jato is a blast...even though its nitro
I've been wanting to get a FT TC4 to do some crazy high speed stuff. I've been trying to snag one up off ebay (especially since its out of production). I want the shaft drive...not the belt drive on the soon to be released TC5...
I am planning to put either a MM5700 and run it on 3S, or a Novak GTB3.5 on 2S. Its a big dilemma. I'd probably be happy with either system (I know the MM would smoke the 3.5 though) but its all a matter of cost. The GTB would cost me at least 50 bucks more than the MM, but with the MM I have to spend $100 per 3S Lipo pack...
As for the body, it probably is too high-profile and creates too much air resistance. If you can find a way to mount a Touring Car body on there, I'm sure it would be much better, and might even increase your speed.
Running no body creates drag because the air is moving across an uneven surface, but running with a body can create lots of resistance because more air must be displaced.
