My truggy is up and running!!! The setup goes as follows. 9xl, MM esc, poly rc 4s2p 4000's for 8000mAh on board. I used a motor mount from Mike with my own milled back motor support and installed twin digital "El Cheapo" tower hobbies servos for steering and made my own mounts and hardware for that. I used the simple yet effective boat technique for securing the batteries. Velcro on the bottom,in between the cells, and wrapped around the whole pack. They stay in place nicely and I can move them back and forth about 3 inches for track conditions. It's not pretty but it's for racing not car shows.

It's quite fast with the 9xl and the brakes are crazy! I had no idea how much better they work than discs. I'm running a 44 spur and a 14 pinion. It's too tall so I have a 46 spur and a 13 pinion on the way and it should put me right at where I need to be. I believe the truck to be slightly LIGHTER than when it was nitro. I removed alot of parts and replace a few things with woven graghite parts that I fabbed. What do you guys think?
