Squee: Yeah, that's my E-Revo (v1) on Ebay. I like V2 much better so I'm keeping that one. Just curious, what is a good and fair price for something like that? The proceeds from this sale will be going to the purchase of a good Lithium charger and batteries for V2 Revo.

Batfish: I'm glad the tranny and diff is strong. Like the title says, it will be for on-road use only, so it won't be subjected to the same rigors as a normal MT or buggy. Once I get the roller and get a feel for its structural strength/weight/etc, I'll have a better idea if I want to go with 3s or 4s and then an appropriate motor. I know enough of BL to know the relationship be and power. I'm leaning to a slower turning motor at higher voltage, but that depends on the physical space on the truck and the weight.

MetalMan: Feigao's chart is what I'm using to get a rough idea of the kv vs turns ratio and therefore, current draw. I'm hoping that by using higher voltage and less vehicle weight, I can keep current draw to ~80A peaks with ~20A (or less) average current draw. I figure the E-Molis might be a good pick for this. I know and realize that e-molis drop voltage after 30A or so, and I'm actually counting on this a little to help keep the "punch" down a little on take-off to protect the drivetrain.

Thanks for the assistance! Once I get going with this project, I'll post back with my progress and pics...
