It does look better w/o the rollcage but its on their for a purpose. I will be going with PB's instead of lipos because its not only cheaper but their well protected with a hard case. Even though they weigh a bit more the 1/5's springs are good for up to 15-20lbs+ of extra weight.
Tisk Tisk..... Should have left it gas IMO. Much better setup as a gasser, much less hassle of all this setup. And a brushed motor, come on dude..... step it up, get a big outrunner.
