I think the Killshot is a good pick - I've definitely heard good things about them.

What was your first name again...?  I forgot... sorry!

brian has that motor I think, as does jamie surrey in his 13.5 pancar. jamie kills us with it lol. brian was doing pretty well with it as well. im not sure its roar legal though being d3.5 based. but for our racing that isnt gonna be a big deal unless you start making the a or somthing lol.

Benjamin, I probably should have typed that out earlier.

According to the Roar website its legal although that still doesn't mean I'll be making the A anytime soon lol. Literally, not going to happen.  :'(

Here is the List of Stuff that's on its way (purchased):

-TB04 Pro 2 chassis kit
-Speed Passion ESC (as of today, thanks Blake)
-Used 17.5T Killshot (rctech classifieds)
-Protoform Mazda6 GX body (from what I saw today, nobody was running it. Saw mostly Speed6's, LTCR and the P37R)
-Ebay special ($10) rubber tires & wheels (they are rubber, that's all I know)

-----------------------
Im still on the hunt for the following:

-Good used steering Servo
-Used Tx & receiver
-7.4 lipo
-used charger
-driver skill

Almost there and definitely over budget already. Any suggestions welcome.

Killshot motors are perfectly ROAR legal. Nothing wrong with them except they are made by Trinity.  They are very similar but the stators are wound with legal sized wire.   Still a pretty fast motor...

Thanks Shawn,

I appreciate that. As always, once I get setup and start buying better stuff I'll either give it back or pay it forward to another newbie.


Found the charger tonight, I sent you a PM, we can meet up at a timmies or something and I can pass it on to you.

Shawn.

Hopefully it's an ok choice. And in decent condition.

And then this happened :( orion carbon.... And I don't even have a charger yet. Shameful  :'(

It is in good shape
Pretty sure Blake uses the same one
Set of WGT tires are around $30.00
I'll look if I have an extra power supply
