Thanks for all the help guys, I decided to go with either of these brushless setups:-

Feigao/Nemesis/Wanderer 8XL Motor
Warrior 9920 ESC

or

Lehner Basic XL 2000 Brushless Motor
Warrior 9920 ESC

Please let me know your thoughts.

Certainly the 8XL.

I would go xl wanderer. The xl2000 may heat up on you.

Depending on gearing and vehicle weight, the 8XL can draw quite a bit of current. IMO, I'd go with the BK 12020 for a little extra current headroom. The 9920 should work fine though.

I agree w/ Brian... 9920 will struggle with heat under racing conditions. Id go with the 12020 or the Quark 125. Biggest mistake you cna make when setting up a new system is to try to ''get away'' with an esc thats just good enough.

when you go back to the stock bumper mounts use the stock body mounts as well for the same reasons

12020/8xl would be nice for what you are lookin for. IMO, dump the stock chassis too. Again, i have an FLM that you might be interested in. You can also use HB Pro's for diffs...little cheaper than UE and work great Squee said once i believe...

Yes, they are great diffs, however, don't get the Pro versions. They have a lower gear ratio for truggy's. The starndard are the same as a standard buggy diff.

I see, sorry. I thought you had something about that, thanks for clarifying!

No problem. I do however have the Pro's. Maybe that's what you were thinking of? The Pro's are in my Lightning Stadium Pro-R though :p.
