It looks good, but you may want to add a UBEC to the list to run off of your 9920 controller, also what batts, and I also recomend using these shocks as well....

If you get a c can motor the heat sink clamp is not needed or will fit.


Peace!

Welcome to the forums!

You can also add (2) HB PRO diffs, you are also missing a whole suspension, in mikes store there is only Flextech, and gorillamax, oh and FLM. Are you more of a racer or basher?


The problem with nitro's these days are that they arent brushless... LOL

yeah depending on the budget you can decide the suspension you want looks like your missing skids gmaxx ones will work and they are light. also a bumper if you want one but is not necessary. You also need a steering assembly the unlimited engineering one will do. How about a steering servo the hitec 333oz servo. Titanium hinge pins, sealed bearing kit either from acer or full force, CVDS like 6mm unlimited engineering ones, radio like spektrum or nomadio radio, batteries like max amps 8000mah lipo batteries, also for charging these a super brain 989 charger, along with a screw kit like RC screws, turnbuckles like punisher or traxxas tubes, oil for shocks, oil for diffs like black grease and associated 10k, 15k, 20k, 30k oils for diffs, FLM bulkhead braces, a fan would be nice, and a set of dace 23mm hubs. sorry for the long run-on sentences.

Oh, than id take the flm ; i didnt notice you had them in your list ; if you want the best bashing arms, though, than get the flextech, and if you do manage to break them, they are free to replace!

I don't know how many cells you want to run, but think long and hard about what speed controller you get. In my opinion, the 9920 is not worth the money. Many have had success with it but it seems like equally as many have fried it. I bought one and fried it within 10 runs (between a 6 cell stadium truck and an 18 cell Savage.) If you are willing to sacrifice voltage capabilities, get the Mamba Max. Seems to be much more reliable, customer service is great as far as I hear, and it has powerful programming options. 12 cells does pack a punch, so don't base everything on voltage. Again, this is just my two cents, but buying and frying a $150 speed controller is a decision you will regret. Just make sure you are absolutely sure that the 9920 is for you.

The 9920 is a good controller. Also, I would go FLM arms for bashing. For replacement is 17.00 under warranty. I would get TI skids, not aluminum IMO.

@GorillaMaxx yeah i have to agree that that this arms can take a beating though im still weighing the budget. Im looking to get lipo packs as well.
@jagboy, ill look into that actually i was hoping to get schulze (too expensive though)
@neweuser, well still looking between FLM and flextek but i am also looking which one has the complete hardware.
