[Rtsbasic]

For the batteries I was thinking of mounting them down the rock guards/side of chassis, is this a good idea? I have some RC10 cups from a previous project I can use to secure them down.

The manufacture's actually Nanda racing I just found out, distributed by Schumacher in the UK.

I was thinking an L Feiago, my budget could just about stretch to the Lehner XL if it would be a more powerful motor for the job (concerned about the thin motor shaft though).

I've not been able to find the internal gear ratio, I need to get the manual from my LHS tomorrow to find out. I know it has a hardened steel spur which could be a problem, it uses 4 screws to attach it directly to the center diff, I could measure how far apart these are if that helps.

I'd rather not go down to 14 cell, simply because I already have 8 cell packs so can use them in my 1:10 trucks still. I'm guessing the spur fitted to it at the min is around 55t or so.
