New 1/8th BL project, need help.....

[supralover72]

Well, I think I'm going to say screw it to the X-ray and go with an LSP-R pro rolling chassis. Much easier as I don't have metal working tools except for a dremel and costs less.

Just a couple last questions:

Is the Fegiao 8xl still a good motor? Did you guys mean the 540c XL?

Are the lightning pro's as good as I've read?

Lastly, what's a good gearing starting point and will the 46t spur from kyosho work?

Thanks a ton for the help guys, great forum, site and group of RCer's! :)

EDIT: Here's the list to look over:

Lighting Pro rr $400.00
Mamba Max +Fegiao 8xl $215.00
Kyosho 44t Spur $5.00
Mod 1 Pinion $12.00
BEC/UBEC $37.00
Motor mount $40.00
Total $709.00
