[t4ce]

hi, mike here from western,n.c. after reading for awhile,i still cant decide exactly what to get for batteries,also any advise on the 8te is appreciated .i have been running brushless for about 6/7 years in various forms in a t3 then a t4 then t4/lipos.at our track(behind my business)with the t4/cc 5700 on 2s.if i run hard as i can i can easily get the motor up to 170f with fairly conservative gearing.with that said i have just finished building my first 1/8,a rc8te w/cc2200 and monster combo.i would love to see it get around the track faster than the t4(about 26 sec now for aprox 725ft down the center)and cooler temps if possible as i dont want to see it go up in flames.racing is the goal with some speed runs from time to time.still tring to get the track interest up as we built it in 2002 and ran hard for 3 yrs untill remains of 2 hurricanes in 2005 washed it mostly away.as the track was built by hand with aprox.90 tonns of dirt shoveled and raked(no bobcats/tractors) kinda made me gave up till recently myself and 1 friend recently reshoveled about 45 more tonns to repair.i said all that to get to this.some people are starting to show up toplay/race and i use the t4 and hopefully the rc8t to generate interest and then get to race also so do i need 4s?,5s?6s?: longest straight is about 135-140 ft..this has been agreat deal of work for a person with a terrible back,70hr workweeks and 3 kids.but i can say this much,my boys love it and so do i!great site here and i think yall can advise me better than anyplace i have read so please have at it.by the way track pics are at www.linvillemtngemshop.com under raceway.we plan to keep improving as we go.anyway its great to be here and thats my rc story-mike
sorry so long and scattered-i'm tired
