Coo, the wheels are in motion, although I will not be getting the recommended set up from HobbyLobby, as it is pricey. Aircraft International has them and will arrive next day from order. Also the HS55s from AI are $16.00 each compared to $20.00 plus @ HL. Batteries America are ridiculously cheap if you want to build a Lipo pack or they have them packed for under $30.00 With that I will toss in a Castle Creations speed controller and a Hacker brushless. Should come out to around a third less than the recommended package. I will let you know how I make out. Joe
