( http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbycity/s...es_90-100A_ESC ) heres a good esc that will handle up to 100amps and 7s lipo

should take what the 580 would draw on 6s i think...

as for batts, www.rclipos.com is a good place to buy...Hobbyking does have lipos as well for decent prices, but Pat as rc lipos has got some great deals too, not to mention hes a pretty good guy to deal with business wise....and im sure people will back me up on this too....

still waiting for someone to chime in though [&:]

BTW, this hull still has all the origional hardwire right? does it run flex shaft or straight shaft?
