My Feedback: (1)

hard to say seeing as your in asia, is the AP36 a sealed motor? the ESC will be cheaper, just go to the local shop and get one, Novak Rooster should be good for a truck.
more mah = longer run times also longer charge times, your slow charger probably won't fully charge the pack.
get a fast charger, 20 mins and your good to go, with slightly more power too. a PEAK charger is a must unless you like having your packs explode coz you forget them.
Discharging apparently makes your packs have a longer life time, theres much debate over this. just run the truck till its a bit slow and pathetic.

I used to race Blackfoots with me stock Rustler. Then I put in a Trinity Onyx and I was out of that class and kicking some ass with Stampedes. They are on road races though. I use a Novak T4. It doesn't have reverse, it was used and cost $20, but they don't wear out, never break, and it was in almost brand new condition. It is also compatible with many motors. I also recommend a 200 MH battery. At least a 1500 I think. Fast chargers are good for when you are on the track. 10-12 hours, that is like a charger from radio shack. You can make a discharger from lightbulbs, a switch and some other components. It is really easy to do. That should keep you busy for a little while. Good luck!
