i am going to get

7XL
9920 ESC
FLM- arms, towers
hardened threaded losi shock thingers

those Losi shocks are VERY sexy and sweet!!

You can allready see your stock towers bent from the losi shocks.. Perhaps it is an idea to get some aluminum shocktowers too

Thanks for all the kind words everyone!

that is what i meant by "flm towers"

To Serum: Do i need to buy any upgraded drive line parts or bulks or anything while i wait for the motor and controller to be in? and what TVP are the strongest but not over kill heavy?

I have a stock servo also to answer the question way way back there. it is an hpi servo

I would upgrade the drivetrain when it brakes, or you need some BLING.. A smart thing to buy is an aluminum diff case (the housing that goes around the entire assembled diff) Only downside; Only GPM makes them.. BUT there is light! i contacted Jamie and suggested him to make a bulkless Savage conversion.. And guess what!? he is currently developing/making them..!!! (he is an a vacation at this time)

Mike has got nice Bluebird servo's.. nothing beats their price!

is the bluebird a good one to use? bulkless system... sounds EXPENSIVE. i feel like spending 500 with motor and ESC to get it to run

Should be close to 300 for esc and motor. 199 esc and 90 for motor.

so 200 dollars more

Yeah there you go. Spend it some where else. Some bling or strength. 200 should get you something. You still have toget it set up for the brushless.

my dad is going to pay for the motor mount and battery trays. So that will not cost me anything, i need to design them though.

I am going to spend 200 on a servo and maybe some beefier driveline or some new rims and tires

hey toby, im working on the same project. Maybe we can help each other. By the way are you going to fabricate the motor mount that serum posted?

yeah i beleive so, want me to get you a price on it? it will be about a week or two before i can bring it away.

that would be cool. But it would be great if you can use something thicker. I mean thicker aluminum. 6-8 mm maybe. Its good for heat dissipation and better to handle the torque of the motor too.

I have 175 dollars left in my paypal account, maybe soon it will have 275, should i just save and wait for the motor and controller?

I LIED, i have a hitech HS 615 steering servo

Don't be hard on yourself mate. You just told use what you didn't know. There fore you did not lie. You was miss informed. But having that sounds like a good thing. :)
