Honestly, I am open to suggestions as I have not cut the holes in the frame yet for a motor so I am willing to use what ever will work. If you can provide a link to the items that will work together (motor/pinion,spur and maybe ESC)
I will get them on order so I can continue the project. I think I will use a .125 axle but I am open on that as well. I don't really know what is out there or what will work, But, clearly by what I have shown so far I am serious about this project.
I am working on the tires at the moment but I would like to order what I need and get it on the way.

I plan to run 2 or 3 cell lipo batteries because I have a lot of them (40 to 50 of them) But I am open on that too.

I know I could just go buy a car and run it. But what fun is there in that when you enjoy designing and building from scratch. I have all the tools so I might as well use them.
