Chaps,

Thanks for all your replies.

This is not going to be a cheap endeavour.

I'm looking at either this combo: http://www.modelsport.co.uk/fusion-e...products/34311

Or the following separate items:

Motor: http://www.modelsport.co.uk/dynamite...roducts/369231
ESC:
http://www.modelsport.co.uk/novak-gt...roducts/368877
http://www.modelsport.co.uk/orion-vo...roducts/367634
http://www.modelsport.co.uk/castle-m...products/35299

I've done more research and I've got a much better idea what I'm looking at now but I'm still struggling to make a choice on the ESC. Do I really need something which can do 120+ amps? I can't help but feel that some of these higher end ESC's which can take a much higher input voltage are wasted if I'm only pumping in 7.4v 2S lipo's?

On the topic of LiPo's I'm looking at these: http://www.modelsport.co.uk/voltz-45...roducts/370644 - would they be suitable with the above setup?

Also, back in the day Apex models were the place to go - model sport seem quite expensive on some products. Where do you guys shop?

Thanks again,
Jamie
