I fly the planes at local schools, I am actually north of Philly by 20 miles. But I did not expect anybody to know where Holland PA, was.

I'll be getting most of the stuff ordered in the next 2 days. I can not make up my mind on the chassis... that is my biggest issue right now :(

I'll post a link soon that showes a little e-combat.

Hey, you are just ~5mi from me. I'm just S of Doylestown. I know Doylestown has a big RC airfield @ Turk park, but anywhere would do.

IDK about chassis, left the maxx along time ago. My fav tires are mashers for a good go-everywhere tire, but I hear badlands are also good for that. Mulchers are great for very loose dirt, but too hard of a surface and they will wear quickly.

@ Otello:
So far I am loving it, but amp draw is quite a bit less than I expected, I've only been able to pull 45A out of it. It does ~40mph w/ really strong TQ. The ET data shows quite a bit less power than the 8XL combo (upto 120A), but you don't see it. I chalk that up to the good motor and eff. If anything I cert could have gone with the 1515/3D (1360 kv,) altho the power is great and I can add some cells if I want to go nuts. I'm planning a post when I get everything sorted out.
