Tom,
I have realized I have no way to afford lithium and strengthen the truck to handle this type of power. I think strengthening is more important.
Here is a good review. The whole site is awesome, a real basher's dream, but a racer's dream also.

Also, is $6.99 a good price for unmatched Gold Peak 4300 loose cells, or are the $35.00 4200 mah stick packs the better deal? How important are an extra 100 mah, are they really worth the extra cost? |
I've heard nothing but good things on the BBB packs - so i bought some last night.
Will give some feedback when they come/i've built them :)
I'm of the opinion that you dont need such a monstrous set up to have fun as the others said - if things are breaking cos it has an obscene ammount of power and a lot of weight - then it will suck.
Pick something like a Plettenberg Bigmaxximum or Lehner 1930, and run on like 18 cells.
Cheaper, less powerful (but still 1800W is a huge ammount of power) and you can get away with using cheaper cells cos of the reduced current draw (and that = less weight, less wear, more acceleration and more runtime)
Lots of cells and huge motors are fine in a 5th scale thing like an FG or something, but to be honest i think you'd have more than enough power with a cheaper set up - and a lot more fun.
