No problem just a steep learning curve i guess for my old brain...
Can you make some suggestions as to what you would get?

I have the Venom Pro charger. I don't know if they still offer it or not. They also made the Venom Pro Plus charger and that was supposedly 'better'. The Pro charger charges up to 5A and 6S lipos. I can charge a 2S in about an hour.

Reading this thread reminds me of the ones I did five years ago when I was getting into electric and lipos. I got this charger http://www.maxamps.com/proddetail.ph...06i-AC-DC-4577 as it does up to 6S, 6amp, and 50w. For me that was plenty as I knew I was never going to go crazy as I was doing a 1/16. I also got 2S lipos from http://spcracingbatteries.com/ and have had no issues. Well, the only issue is that they can be out of stock on a lot of items because their price/performance ratio is great. Now, if you want the Lexus of lipos then head over to http://www.maxamps.com/products.php?...orm+Flux+Packs as their site is great cause you can look at batteries that fit just your truck like I posted. They are pricey but wow is the service there, top quality parts too.
Oh and don't forget a lipo bag. Charge and store all lipos in these bags or scary stuff will happen if the lipo fails. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...EARCH=lipo+bag

Yessir I am. Thanks for all the help here, only a few replacement parts for the pit box is needed I guess.
Extra tires, if I could find the factory spur gear size I would order a couple just in case. Maybe even an extra body shell that I can customize.

And good call on the T-Bone Racing bumpers...I think everybody should have one protecting their front ends on non-racing RCs. TBR will be getting an order from me very soon for some top plate/skid plates/bumper.
