Comments:
4s is ok, but why not with two 3s = 6s here is site for some Zipy's 3s. https://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/...idProduct=6350

Get a external BEC for your MMM = CC http://www.rc-monster.com/proddetail...stlebec&cat=21

Use the liquid dye not the powder!..

Any two channel radio will work; I picked up a Spektrum DX2.0 used for $120 (2.4 ghz)

Make sure you get the mod 1 pinions and spur gears. Jato spur work great and give you options.

A true carbon wing will shatter on you, I use this one and it held of months of bashing

Jato spur is NOT mod1 - it is .8 Mod/32P. I think TDC meant to say use .8 mod or 32P gearing, NOT mod1.

Also, I think the jury is still out on the benefit of the external BEC for the MMM. Many OPINIONS on this, but no clear cut yes/no on its benefit. Read more about it in the Castle forum, and develop your own opinion.

Any of the 2.4 radio systems will work great. Anything less than 2.4, not so great.

The hyperion line of chargers seems to be the fav among this crowd. Pretty much cant go wrong with the Duo.

At a minimum, get an aluminum internal diff cup for the rear diff, or maybe even the Maximizer steel one. You'll need it at some point.

extended wheelbase arms(traxxas)
extended track kit(kershaw)
extended wheelbase axle carriers (qoncepts)

These seem redundant. The Traxxas arms seem to be holding up well for most. I run RPM, and have had good luck with them. I just purchased a set of the True Track rears, and we'll see how those hold up.

Get yourself an assortment of springs. You are going to need them to get the truck rebalanced. I have significant issues with the front on mine, as the GC seems to be about 1-2" forward of where it used to be.

TDC - I bought my Traxxaswheelie bar and VDP shock system from Tower. I found the part number on the Traxxas site, then searched tower by part number for the VDP kit.

Good luck with your build.
