Thank you guys, and I'm sorry for the late reply. My portable PC just "gave up" a few days ago, but DELL is giving me a new and better (Weeh, thank you god for Complete Care)

I actually thought that the Stampede allready HAD bearings, but I guess not. That together with the carriers will be ordered now. As for motor, I will write down your suggestions and put them in a bag and draw one. Seems fair :-)

One last additional question though. You all refer to the 17 turn lower limit of the ESC in the Stampede, but is turns everything ?? I think of current and how many AMPs the ESC is going to handle also, or it this two things that goes hand in hand? I usually buy brushless ESC's that is capable of handling approx. 100% the current draw I need..... and turns + AMP draw is not always linear in the BL world.

So would the Traxxas ESC handle ANY brand and any level of modified 17Turn motor ??
