Well, Iīm here again, I want this project finished for the spring...And now I got a bigger budget to play with so I have started to think 1/8, It feels more controlable on 5 or 6s, Iīm thinking of using this esc instead wich I have in my revo:

And this motor:

But on what platform!?

I have been thinking of:

For the street and:

For the rest.

A stock 1/16 scale mini revo/summit/slash/rally has a wheelbase of 21cm. If I extend it in the front with a traxxas cvd/integy/customparts hybrid It will be 26cm, perfect for that body and all other 200mm bodys.

If I go for this I will use the Old esc/motor combo I listed and run 4s.

But.... I want to build a 1/8 scale, feels more controllable at high speeds, feels more "real".

I want a platform that isnīt rare to find.... And I want it to be easy to find spare parts.. Thatīs why itīs tempting to build of a traxxas 1/16 chassis...I have built a few revos with alot of different setups, driven them for many hours so the reability of a build like that wouldnīt be a problem, itīs just that I want it bigger.....

Maybe this one?
