I am planning on getting the 14t, 15t and 16t pinions and was also going to pick up the plastic Kyosho spur. Will I need the 46t or 44t?

As for the lipo's - I realize I will need two packs. One for quals and one for the mains. We run three 5 minute quals and a 15 min main. I was planning on two MaxAmps 6000HV 4S2P packs. Is this overkill or can I use a 5000 or 4000 pack for weight savings?

Finally, what esc should I use? I want to wait for the MMM or Tekin options, but without a release date, would that be wise? I plan on a few runs at an indoor track this winter to shake it down, so I am not in any immediate need.

I realize I left off a few things like a BEC and motor mount, but I figure the questions above are the big decisions that I need help with and should be able to handle the rest.
You still converting your Buggy? i just finished mine and would love to see some of your pics if your done with it
