Hey I should have a muggy in my hands in a few days and I need some help on what elecs too run. I want too know from your experiences what would work best. I am not racing this.
First, a motor. I was thinking either a 1515 or a 1521 neu. Not sure if the 1521 is needed, doubt it but heard the the muggy is a pig so its an option. I plan on using lpr tires on losi lightened wheels because I hear the stock ones are quite hefty. Not sure where else too shed much weight as its got plastic shock bodies, aluminum chassis and such, maybe carbon fiber instead of aluminum?
I was thinking 1515 1y on 6s. Now I am hoping this will produce the wheelies on demand, I mean I would rather have it and be able too dial it out than have it be under powered.

That looks good right?
Next batteries.
Looking too get zippies so it can be running asap, then upgrade batts and charger later. I have a duratrax Ice so 4s is max. I plan on getting two 3s packs and run them in series. now zippy r's at 25c should be fine right?

that or the MMM. Has the issue with the MMM been resolved? I saw somewhere recent that it may have been the leads touching and shorting but was that it? It would be perfect but I want it too work. Thanks guys, I believe that is it. once the muggy gets here it will be more interesting!
