wired in series you'll have 4s with 4500mah

wired parraelle you'll have 2s with 9000mah

There are 5000mah packs with 40C also availible, spend a few more bucks and get the higher C-rating packs if budget allows

agreed on the high c rating. high capacity x high c makes a nice stable battery. worth the extra cash in these big trucks (in my experience anyway) like bondonutz says
your clutch spring thing is cool. so there's a thrust bearing in there also, and the washer-spring thing?

Ok so with the help of Brett (cpe) I got the redcat rampage body on Wed. and I knew it was gonna be larger then what im used to but wow surprised me! The pics tell it all, if you own a proline f650 mgt/lst sized then you get the idea.
Just finished tonight (well morning now for me) doing painting duty this one takes a bit of paint. I wasnt able to do the color combo I wanted since i only had a little bit of the colors I wanted (red/yellow) and im broke so had to go with what I the most of which was black so thats the main color and I had enough yellow to toss in some added brightness. You will see the finished deal later its drying now and I still have silver to do next. Here is some comparison shots with the f650.
I tried my best to get the wheels wells lined up better but the dam front body mount wasnt working in my favor so thats why their off a bit but hey who will know while its flying by?
