Hmm.. We should compare notes on finished vehicles.

Rather than go with a motor and esc designed for RC products, I'm going to use the 100-amp 48v speed controller and Hall Effect throttle normally used for pocket bikes (total price $45.00). Since the throttle assembly itself is $5, I took one apart yesterday and think it's definitely feasible to use the normal throttle servo to control it's motion. Since I already have (2) 6S 4000mah Lipos, I'm going to use them in series. Just scouting for a nice 1/5 chassis to put all this stuff in!!

I certainly don't mean to hijack this thread. Reading it gave me the idea and I figure I'll just follow along for the sake of comparison. Obviously we'll all benefit from different ideas being posted.
