    True, I just hated my bad luck, most of the time if I wanted to bash a bit I would have to charge the batteries and by the time it was done it was already raining outside, it sucked :( . I know a gallon of fuel would last me quite a while before I had to get more, but even when I like nitro more the only thing I have left right now is an electric boat and 1/16 losi (I sold most of what I had, getting out the hobby for a while), but will be selling them for whatever I can get soon, if I get back on it in the future I will most likely go with a 1/5, or if at the local track the new 1/8th electric buggies have enough quorum I might go that route.

    Actually, not a bad idea.

    Post a for sale thread with everything you got, Foco. I'm sure you could probably sell some stuff.

    I don't have any actual experience with any of it but I'd say it would be a hellacious setup for whatever you put it in. :cool:

    All good stuff, the Havoc system might actually be overkill if all you want is someting to haul ass and bash around with.

    Why not get a 3S lipo? The speed and power difference is significant between 2S and 3S. Either way with a 13.5t it's gonna haul, but you may as well use the capacity of the ESC.

    thanks guys.

    to the 2s vs 3s....i am not sure that a 3s will even fit.
    the Axial Wraith has a specific size to fit in. i would expect this semi "scale" vehicle to be the same.
