I would concider a 3S lipo in the 2500 MAH range w/ Deans connectors, the extra voltage is a plus and the pack is smaller and lighter.
MRC SUPER BRAIN 960 AC/DC PEAK CHARGER
Never had any luck w/ the MRC chargers, I would look into a Hyperion charger.








Other than that looks like a good list!

The Stick is pretty much the top of the line.

Now axles are a different story, the Clod axles are going to be challenged at the Nats this year by the newer Berg axles.
