thanks for all the info guys, i think i will end up going with a the 2 2s lipo setup, batteries are a bit cheaper, and the lipos im looking at are too big to use in my crawler anyways.

Also i'm just going to use the metal gears for now, i don't mind mesh noise so we will see how that goes.

tmaxxdaddy I am hoping to get this done in the next couple weeks, but i will keep it all posted as it comes along

thanks again
steven

ps anymore info is still greatly appreciated
