Thanks for the welcome and the quick reply :)

Oh ok, thanks for clearing that up. I was seeing "Mod1" around but didn't understand. I thought it had something to do with the hardness of the pinion.

I know that I would definately like to play with the tire/wheel combinations and possibly end up with the extended chassis kit so I think I need a better motor that the MM. I don't want to be limited to a stock sized truck. Can you recommend a motor that would work well? I'm going to try squeezing a 6000-8000mah lipo into it for max run times. I think I understand that the more cells the cooler the motor runs...so a 3s would be the best bet? Sorry for the noob questions. My electrics all have Mamba's in them so this is a whole new world.
