For waterproof but its only 4s. So your be better with 2200kv or 2650kv motor.

Look at this on eBay:

E-Express EZRUN WP SC8 Waterproof 120A Brushless ESC Speed Controller HOBBYWING

http://bit.ly/132LpEx

This would be better 4-5-6s compaterble .

Look at this on eBay:

Hobbywing Xerun Sensored 150A ESC + 2200KV Motor +Card for 1:8 Car RC Car #34630

http://bit.ly/XfMxVV

As for lipos 5000mah 40c plus have a look on hobbyking or gen ace from giant shark

Gearing will depend on what setup you go for.

For setting the esc up ie punch, drag brake, motor timing etc...

You ditching Nitro completely buddy?

[ts4n]

Yea wanting more power!

[Philljohndavis]

I recommend the Mamba Monster Max. They now have a waterproof version too which would be awesome. But thats more of a high budget item all depends on your budget really.

I've got the xerun 150a/2200kv bundle as mentioned above. It's awesome, but not waterproof. I use a protective cover on it (link) and reckon it's good for pretty much any amount of spray, but obviously not for being submersed.

I would go for something like this:

http://www.rcecho.com/HOBBYWING-XERUN-4274-2000KV-Brushless-Motor-EZRUN-WP-SC8-120A-ESC-Combo-ME222.html

Ive had a few WP SC8's and never had a problem and they have both been submerged in water .

I wouldnt bother with the Mamba Monster 2 as it hasnt been tried and tested yet!

Good Luck.

Thanks.

Cheers guys waiting for a few goodies to show up what diff oil will o need my center diff is a torsen diff so uses grease

[big turbo]

Not sure what diff that is to be honest.

I use 10k front 30k centre 7k rear

But next time I have the diffs out going to change to 7k front and 5k rear.

[ts4n]

First of the goodies showed up

[ts4n]

Started the strip down to clean the whole buggy one screw has rounded off not too sure how in gunna get it off

[MAZ]

Have you got a dremel? Or any thing you can use to make a slot in the head and then use a flatnbladed screwdriver to undo it

How come you've got new shock towers?

For my diffs i've put - 7k front, 50,000k middle and 7k rear

[ts4n]

Yea might try that I need that post or I'd just chop it off lol my rear tower is ever so slightly bent so thought I'd put some new ones on

[MAZ]

Aaah okay

Have you had a look at the Hyper ST shock towers? I've got them on my Hyper 7, mega beefy and a very worthy upgrade.

Liking you chassis too - Is it longer than the stock one?

[ts4n]

Yea its the extended one

[MAZ]

Would you say its as durable as the stock chassis? Do you think its worth getting if say i'm gonna be doing lots of jumps and awful landings?

any links to the chassis?

Another option, if you have any cheap allen keys is to super glue one in. I always try that before resorting to the dremel (Mainly cos I can never find the thing) Just make sure you give the slot a good clean out first so you can get the key all the way in.

[DazzaClio]

First of the goodies showed up

Looks alright but depending how hard you bash they will soon bend why you was there you should have went for Hyper St Pro shock towers.

Good Luck.

Thanks.

[ts4n]

Will see how they go look what just landed from Hong Kong

[alturner]

Good stuff. The battery mounting plate is useless though. I trimmed mine down and made a rock solid esc mount out of it.

[ts4n]

You got any pics of the esc mount

[DazzaClio]

Heres a picture that I just took of mine which might help you get some ideas thats with a 4s lipo strapped in .

Thanks.
