I got two Kokam 3s 2400 mAh 30C LiPos, a Tekno Neu 1509/2Y/F, a hardened 13T pinion, a plastic RC8E spur gear and made some CFRP battery boxes. Next, I'll machine a motor mount and rebuilt the buggy.
For the ESC, I would order an RX8 if it was available seperately, but the Mamba Max Pro is tempting. I will probably see what is available when my buggy approaches completion.
I will build this buggy on the standard chassis first, but already have some ideas for a custom-made chassis with optimized layout.
