Best 10th scale 4wd

[Metallover]

For a power plant I am thinking a 36-50-3300 Medusa on 4s with a mamba max. Should be fast enough? I don't have the biggest budget, so no RCM cnc aluminum for me. I'll probably stay with the stock chassis.

How much room for batteries are their on either truck? The battery I want to use is 160x51x32mm. I don't want to get an extended chassis, but I may have to if it comes down to it.

That battery sounds huge. I'm not sure it would even fit on the .5. Really you don't need that big a batt. It just makes it heavy, unbalanced and more likely to break. The 4S 2100 batt I have is only ~230g and is equal to a 2S 4200 lipo. Plenty of runtime, 15-20min bashing, and at $40 you can afford to have a few. I'd try to stay under 300g on the batt.

4S on the 3300 will be psyco fast. My LMT was 3100kv, and on 4S it would do more than 60mph. See my vid. My 2200 still pulls as much as 90A with the mashers on, and I was getting peaks of 1200W plus. Way way more power than you need. 1000W is great really. EZ rolling wheelies as well. 4S on the 3300 will be uncontrolable, trust me. FWIW, Arct1k has a 3300 on 3S on his .5 and it was way fast and doing 48mph pretty easy.
