Default RE: Time for something else...

If I wanted to build a totally ridiculous electric, I'd do it on the same chassis I've built totally ridiculous nitros: RC10GT. Lightweight, tough, handle well. I've got one built as a street fighter with a Picco .21 that turns TRX 2.8" Talons into 7" diameter pizza cutters (not radar checked yet, but I'm thinking 80+ MPH), the other with an OFNA .32, 14T clutch & 48T Losi steel spur, GPM alloy trans case with RRP gears, custom steel 12mm hex drives on rear, custom steel front axles running the 2.8" Talons front and rear , TRX camber links, etc. Very little plastic left, 6.7 Lbs and still wheelies on demand at 30, 40 MPH.

So, if I wanted to do a wicked flashlight, I'd start with that chassis, put RRP gears in a GPM alloy trans, affix the same Losi steel 48T Mod 1 spur to the slipper (with screws all the way through), then mount something like the Mamba Max 2,200 or Tekin T8 2,650 KV and figure out how to put at least an 18T pinion on it.
