I just oredered a ss kit and mikes chassis too. Not sure what they will weight, but I plan to run a 9xl, quark 125 and 5s 6000mah lipo. This is kind of a low spec setup (for me!), but I may step up to the kb45 10l or the kb 8xl that I have laying around. I will have to build a custom motor mount for the kb, but it should be worth it.
David, I am going to run a neu 1515 1/y on 4s in my savage with the 3 speed. Mine should weigh about 12lbs at a guess. I pretty sure that the 1515 1/y will stay cool, geared for 60mph in my revo(only radar-ed in at 55mph) it never got over 130*f, cant say the same for the batteries though!
My chassis should be here tomorrow, I cant wait!!!!!!
