G2R needs motor, esc and batteries

[Larain60]

Choices choices...

I am almost ready for motor, esc and battery selection.

I am now thinking of a Mamba max and 8XL. As I previously mentioned, I would like moderately longer run-times (least 30-40 mins minimum- nuclear power for 2 year runtime would be good haha). I think Maxamps Lipos are in order. Im going to be running on a mix of short grass, hard dirt and streets - NOT racing but I like speed like everyone else.

I will enjoy running the G2R but will not be beating it without mercy like my tmaxx. Im into nitro but want something that I can just plug and play and cruise around.

So remaining questions I have are...

(1) will the Mamba Max and 8XL run good?

(2) Which Maxamps Lipo packs should I go with?

(3) What connectors are the best?

(4) What's the best charger? ICE or MRC 989?

(5) What else do I need besides the truck and transmitter (besides a new fiance')?

It may not look like it but I have been doing my research -- there is just so much information out there. Ill post pics of the truck asap.

Thanks all.
