If your looking for a low cost reliable basher I would go with the BK Warrior 9920 ESC instead of the Mamaba Max. Not as many bells and whistles as the Mamba Max, but made for use in that type of vehicle.The Mamba maxx was really not intended for a monster truck. It was meant for a staduim truck size application. It works, but the Warrior 9920 is more at home in a MT size truck. http://www.rc-monster.com/proddetail...od=9920warrior But if your going to do it.... Do it quick. Not sure how much longer the holiday special will last and then it goes back to $200 instead of the $150 its on sale for right now.

I think the other stuff you have listed below is good. The 8XL motor from the link you posted below is good. On 14 cells that will be a very powerfull fun and reliable basher. I'm assuming here that you want a set it and forget it system. You would proabbly even have some headroom on that system to toss in a couple more cells if you wanted to on occation. Id start with gearing around 18/66 or 20/66 locked in second gear, and I would also recomend this (http://www.rc-monster.com/proddetail...rod=RCM03idler) as a must get upgrade. The stock plastic one will not last long with that brushless setup.

Edit: The way you feel reading this stuff is the way I feel with the nitro stuff... Nothing really makes sense, nitro tuning is just kinda like black magic to me...:007: :002:
