Thanks. If I remember correctly I paid $155 shipped from RPPHobby on eBay. It is the exact kit you can purchase from TowerHobbies for $169 or from RPPHobby for $175. This kit included everything but a transmitter and receiver. Some, if you're lucky, include LED light kits. But I wanted to do that separately.
I robbed the 55T lathe motor out of my Stampede and the XL5 since I didn't like Tamiya's included ESC. It's using the Futaba TX/RX package from my RC18 since I fried the Mamba and switched back to stock electronics. Uhm.. The servo is a Futaba S3003 from the same TX/RX package. The 55T is a little fast for my liking so I'll probably order a 75T or 85T later on as well.

I am considering getting one again. If you have any specific questions about how to mod it, lift the front suspension a bit, or upgrades, feel free to ask me.
Aweosme choice.

Thanks! You won't regret it; they're a ton of fun and seem to be very durable. Well, you should know that, anyway.
I plan on doing a 3mm brass bushing lift like I've seen plastered all over RCC and Scale4x4. Seems simple and effective. I'm also looking into upgraded shoes; any suggestions? I don't want to hack away at the tub chassis, though.. which really hinders my choices..

Waterproof FTW :lol But nice choice Donzii(I'm joking around about selling the ESC). What are your plans for color on this? I hope you and the other mods don't mind me posting this but my buddy from another forum did an amazing project on I believe the same chassis.
Ok can't find it, I'll find it later but he did an amazing job so you have to see it

Keep looking. I'd like to see it. Thanks!

Oh, and I haven't seen any paint suggestions?!
Cheers,
Kyle.
