well initaly im starting with a 23 pinion 28 spur, and only because its all i have im going to start with a stock villain prop. (still havnt got the pile of plastic ones i ordered) and for batteries im going to start with a pair of 2s 5000mah venom lipos. the green hardcase ones. also im going to program the castle link software so the esc has 50% traction control until i figure out how brutal that big neu2200 is going to be on the drive line. paint is all set and the clear is dry. im going to start reassembly tomorrow. i will try to throw up some final assembly pics before the first run. hopefully the weather will stay decent and i can take some video of the first run.
