What do you guys think?

Do it right and do it once! If it means saving up for an extra week or two or three save your money and buy things once, it pays off within 6 months. Buy a cheap esc and you'll be buying another very soon, buy a mmm or similar and it has a warranty so if it does go up in smoke it's covered. Don't skimp out and buy 20C lipos, you can get 30C+ lipos cheap. If your going to buy from HK then buy your lipos there and get some decent ones. Also keep in mind that that 1518 is better suited to 6-8s lipo. That esc you linked to only does 4s. IMHO minimum requirement would be a MMM and a 6s 5000mah 30C

The way i see it is i pay $250 for the roller with motor and servo, sell my 1515 for $120 or so, sell my mmp for $80, and i wont have much in the muggy. But, ill need a ne esc and batts somewhere along the way, and i could even sell the 1518 for $170 or so and buy the leopard. I think thats a pretty good deal!
