Thanks guys. I had been leaning towards the CC combo but just can't make up my mind. I am just looking for a stable platform to start out on. I have been running nitro for 4 years and up until now had no use for electric. Now that I have a Baja the nitro's are just not that fun anymore.

As for the 40MPH limit that is just a starting point for me. The Savvy will just be bashing around. Don't need land speed records and all.

So I think the choice is 70mm Medusa. Either the 1600Kv or 2000Kv. At the moment I am planning to leave the 2 speed in and go mechanical brakes. From what I have read the mechanical brakes would allow less stress on the motor. Is this correct? I would like to get the longest run time out of a 5000MAH pack as possible.

Also, would it be benificial to add a heatsink and or fan to the motor as well. Just trying to get the info so that I can order all this stuff today if possible.

Would have ordered it all with my FLM chassis but was testing the shipping here. Very impressed by it now.

Any other things I may need, let me know.

Thanks for the help and great site.
