wow. this forum filled up quick. anyways.
i decided not to go with the 3500 system i mentioned way earlier. people were telling me not to go with a brushless system and i should order the pro-boat system.... but thats way too much money. I just wanna spend about $200.00 on the motor and ecs and such. the motor mounts i am going to make my self. I found a bit of 90 degree aluminum plates that i could cut down to size and use as a mount. so the mounts are FREE!!!
i actually got a little distracted and bought a losi rock crawler. Seeing as i have no idea how electrical systems work, the rock crawler got me familiarized with the systems. you know; where the wires go and such

speaking of losi, they also have a cheep system.
it doesn't mater really on the system, all it has to be is LIPO 3C powered to i can use my eflite batteries and charger instead of buying more batteries.
OR i might consider just selling the nitro vee for a kit-boat. hull, controller, .15 motor..... CHEEP! I sell to you, special discount!
