Altered's Stampede Project

Yeah I have been doing some research on shocks for this thing, been looking into some blue star ones off ebay. I have had them before and they seem to be pretty good. Even with all the aluminum, it is still lighter than a stocker, my old pede is owned by a friend of mine and it is completly stock and it feels like an anvil compared to mine...lol. What motor would you suggest? I like the speed on this one cause it is controllable. Not going to make speed runs or anything, just a bunch of bashing.
