I didn't feel like reading through the thread and don't know if this has been mentioned yet. You are going to want to run the batteries and esc's in parallel, so they see the exact same voltage. It will also require pulling the red bec wire from one esc reciever connection, so only one esc feeds the reciever power. Might wanna make the front top plate bigger to hold a steering servo. If you knew all this nevermind, I just want to see it run!

Good info and thank you, I am a absolute noob when it come to electric. The steering servo will actually end up under the top plate, so that whole area is good to go for electronics only :)

Ok so i got my top plate fabed up, and the 8ight shocks came in yesterday. Body will be here today sometime, deciding on a color scheme for it.





Im going to need to do some R&D on the shock oil and springs, these things are a whole new ball game.

[suicideneil]

Yep, they are. I think you need the stiffest springs really, since you are only running four of them, although it will depend very much on how heavy it is once all is said and done.

Im actully thinking of using the fron springs on the rear, I have the collars down all the way and i was thinking it wouldnt be so bad to run These

[suicideneil]

Hmm, if those grey ones are the stock front springs, I wouldnt recommend them, especially on the longer rear shocks. They are not as stiff as you'd expect- rather squishy to be honest

[mriccucci]

Im pretty sure the stock are silver not gray at least i hope

A nice surprise :)

[suicideneil]

Im not sure man, that might not provide enough power....
