As I mentioned, I'm going to go with a new battery set-up so the 1500s I have now are a non-issue.

SpEEdyBL- What parts were you breaking mostly? I've been thinking I'd want to go to all the graphite and aluminum parts that I can. May make the buggy a bit heavier, but hopefully a bit more durable. I may just convert the BX to an ST in the process.
