You could also buy relevant parts and do a scratch build using the best parts from each of the others available?

I would like to have the money and time to do such a thing but, alsa do not. I will follow this with interest.

Both, build and the final product.
Last...hmm..got a saying for that word :) English is not my language but...
"Last will be, before i die" :)

On some other forum i saw FS thread about FG 4WD Marder kit, never used.
Might go and pick it up and than go slowly from there. The price aint bad.

It maybe look good but i think that about it. Toxic shocks system is same as Formula F1...good for onroad.
It did not prove it self in Germany on track.
Desinged in Germany made in China. I think it is 7075.

XB-E it looks ok, but i think not and there are few reasons:
- poor support in EU if any.
- would need to sell electronics because of the the 6S limit (this aint no big deal).
- Dont like how items(motor,lipos) are placed in the truck (limited with motor lenght, bigger motor leads to bad weight distribution).
- one buyer i can buy it from, wants 7oous for xb-e and 9oous for shipping ,on top of that i got 20% Tax to pay as item is not bought in EU.

All that maybe wouldnt matter that much if i could get it for 7oous, but i can not.
Maybe "HK Xbe" but for now they do not ship international, available only in AUS.

I would like to see/have esc that is capable more than 8S.
Is 1717 rated for 8S? I think it is not. 45,ooo RPM limit?
Will go with "Lehner motoren" i think. Have a few Castle motors (and i am happy with them) but only had one Leny :)... i so miss the way it while under the throttle. But electronics later..

Here my old video E-Savy, Lehner 1940/7 paired with Castle MMM.
