good choice on the motorplate! on 14 cells you should be able to keep up with the nitro vehicles. (you need good cells though)

an 8XL and a mm controller with a seperate UBEC would get you up and running. You figured out where you're putting the batteries?

Thanks for the warm welcome guys!

I have one set of IB4200s and plan to get enough loose cells to assemble another set of two 7 cell packs. I hadn't figured out where to put the batteries yet, I was hoping to find some carbon fiber channel or angle to make trays. I'd like to have a pack on each side and try to center my other electrics along the chassis, keeping the packs back toward the rear clip. I'm going to strip the chassis and reduce everything as much as possible, i.e. single steering servo, smaller reciever box, etc. The one thing I do want to keep is my 2 speed tranny, so the brake servo will stay someplace.

Anyway, is the Mamba controller programable to forward only? That's what I'd have to run for the 2 speed and mechanical brakes to work, right?

One more totally noob question...what's this UBEC I keep hearing about? :032:

Thanks
