Thanks for the reply mate.

Yeah, a longer can would be nice, ya reckon it would be better going the 1500kv or 1250kv, was thinking that going longer would probably be better to go lower, easier on the esc and lipos and should be able to gear up the difference.

I have sent an email to RCFans88 asking if they could get either in, their prices seem to be a fair bit cheaper than anywhere else, and not too bad to deal with (have dealt with them before).

As for the ESC, I wouldn't mind the Hobbywing and will probably get one eventually.
I have been reading a little on the HK 150A (are these a rebadged HW?) and it seems these are pretty tough, people have been putting them in truggies, MGT's, savages... etc
Havn't really read anything that bad about them.

Also, because it is cheaper, I am thinking that if the magic smoke dam broke its walls I wouldn't really lose any money by getting an MMM or RX8 repaired (cost of postage, possibly both ways and price of the repair itself).
And I would be dreaming if I thought that an MMM or RX8 would be that much more reliable, haha.

Not to mention, it's easier for me to justify at the moment getting a cheaper esc, the HW Xerun is about an extra $50-$60?, MMM and RX8 $100+?

Yeah, I keep thinking the same of the trackstars/toro8... it is a bit early to know if they are any good.

I figured it would be something like that to get reverse.
Run the servo from a Y harness with the esc?
Wiring shouldn't be too hard, only need to kill one wire.

I read a couple of people having a couple of issues with running 40 series rubber, didn't think of the offset, if it's still a bit tight for room, I guess I could sacrifice some EPA (figure it shouldn't need too much).

I will be taking plenty of pics when this gets up and going, probably even a video or 2.

Cheers.
