ok now Angel has me thinking about getting a 4S.... that would probably save me getting another charger. I could get away with what I have as far as chargers go in the short term anyway. So is there balancing issues here to consider. I guess originally I would have thought 2 batteries better with weight evenly distributed on each side. But I suppose if the battery is on one side and the motor on the other that might balance it also. Is this a huge issue to consider for an 1/8 conversion?

Also thanks for the responses so far... keep them coming. Nothing here is completely set in stone so I'm pretty open. The MM ESC is about all I'm committed to so far. Hopefully tonight I'll be able to check out the 2 Ofna's and make a decision on the chassis I'll be using. I've been pretty 50/50 on the roller I want but am leaning towards the Hyper 7 right now. Any final words on the Ultra ???? ... Our Offroad track director said he thought it would be fine for my purposes but he has only driven a conversion of someone's in Des Moines not actually built one. Whoever that was (if your listening) he loved it.
