That is a nice looking part list.

We need pics asap!
I'm using the RC4WD (BL02) wheels with Proline G8 Chisel tires. With this relatively stock setup I crawled over a 13" diameter log. I have noticed that small things (sticks, pointed rocks, etc) tend to get stuck between the motor/axle when I try and get over them. I'm making some SS skid plates to remedy the problem. What kind of terrain to you plan to run on? Hopefully you wont have the same trouble.
