Default Christmas list

A little imagination wanted here!

I have no idea what i want for x-mas, other than a dc peak charger and 4st tires and wheels.

What else should i ask for?

*please, no new car suggestions, or b-less, or lipo.*

I'm also thinking a 15 turn motor, but the stock motor is already fast enough for my track.

By the way, this stuff is for my Academy SB Pro.

Orion SV2 Pro BB 15T: one of the best 15T sport motors. Maybe a quality battery pack that you can tear down and rebuild SxS. Spektrum DX2.0 radio system? What about a 625MG servo? Is your SB stock, or what hop-ups do you have on it, and what electronics do you have?

not getting any new electronics, already have an Airtronics MX3-S and a 3 channel super micro synthesized receiver. Novak XRS speedo, and a b-less Airtronics servo that does 70oz-in. of torque, and .12 transit time. Plenty good for a 4wd buggy. It is the Pro version, so it has a CF chassis, lots of aluminum, Titanium turnbuckles, etc...

It also has upgraded b4 shocks on it.

i already have spur gears out my ears, and it is geared perfectly already. I am using a 22 tooth pinion with a stock motor.

Any recommendations on a pinion for a 15 turn?? I'm thinking like a 17.

Wow, sounds like you're pretty set. I see alot of very nice components. The XRS is the only thing I could see being upgraded, as I recall it has a 40amp limit. Might consider picking up a used LRP 7.1 and running a lower turn brushed motor?

not too low, as the track i run at is the perfect size for a stock motor. I think the limit is more than that, as it heats up less than the motor, and the motor is the one that gets cooling airflow from the hole in the body. The esc is covered in wires.

Oh, forgot. I have two GP3300 packs.

I'm on my mom's laptop right now, which totally sucks *****. My pc is a Top-of-the-line custom. But i don't know what happened to the i-net. Whenever i scroll down the page the whole page fills down from the top to the bottom, just like a power point presentation. So i don't use it much for surfing th web. I'm using Mozilla. If anybody knows what's wrong, please tell me.

What about a new body, an airbrush and some paint? Have you ever painted bodies before?

it's not that expensive. unless you want to get the nice stuff. i don't like making nice bodies. it's pointless if you're a basher in my opinion.. i always am on my lid

Definetly not a r18mt. Get a Xray M18t and a mamba 25 esc and a mamba 6800kv brushless motor and get a new radio. Then you will be good to go.
