some final progress! it's been a while since i updated this.
-sold the lehner/mm combo and got a Neu 1515/2D and MMM
-5s enerland 5050mah/30c/8ga wire (2 packs)
-RCM motor mount
-RCM battery tray
-installed the captured hinge pin system
i may be getting the xt8 big bores, and RCM's extended chassis. and some tires that don't balloon like crazy. oh yeah - they don't exist.
geared 46/15, it's a total rocket.
