Need opinions for a 10th speed car - 03.25.2014, 11:57 PM

So I was digging thru my selection of old rc project pics and came across (don't worry Harold, I wiped it off!) a pic of my old direct to diff outrunner redcat!!! A real POS, but it had the makings of a good idea.

We lacked escs that could handle the startup loads back then, quark was the best bet but those things were like ticking time bombs.

I have decided to revist this concept with a 10th 4wd on road car. Looking to do 100mph. I know this is not that fast, and I have almost done it before with a conventional setup.

Thinking MMpro, 28 size outrunner, 6s lipo.

What I need help with is a platform that will be easy to put the outrunner in. Basically I need a setup that has an al chassis and std diffs front and rear. So probably something nitro.

I would like it to be cheap (why not) and have good parts availability (nothing discontinued) and above all else be strong. I really do not car if it is heavy as power will not be an issue.
