I don't even want to think about how much this cost me; I'd have to shoot myself! :002: You can probably get a pretty close figure by adding up the parts from the RCM store, then add the base kit. Then, there's the metal stock used for some of the custom parts. Not to mention the time. Ugg. Makes me cringe just thinking about it.

Yes, I'm using a UBEC. The UBEC, capacitor (for the UBEC), and any extra wiring is located in a custom box under the ESC to keep everything tidy. :)

I haven't run it enough in one shot to get a runtime figure yet. I was outside for about 10 minutes at a guess and the batts didn't dump, and they were at a storage charge of about 3.8v/cell. Hard to say. I'm hoping for a solid 25 minutes. If not, I'll just pick up the 2.5d later and use the 2d in my Revo since it has more gearing options.
