[QUOTE="kevinatfms, post: 16342817, member: 39344"] Ill quote a mid level build just in case you want to go pretty crazy with the power. I replaced the steering servo as the stock Traxxas servos are garbage but you can save $60 by keeping the stock Traxxas servo. The VXL power system is so overpowered it really doesnt need to be replaced. Please note on 3s this car will EASILY top 60mph or more. Traxxas quotes 70mph but getting to that speed means a large open space and no crosswinds. This is a bit more than the $600 budget that [USER=138337]@13COBRA[/USER] suggested but this car will absolutely fly. Mid Grade Brushless Build: Traxxas 4-Tec 2.0 RTR(no body) - $349 on A-Main Hobbies Spektrum DX5C w/ receiver - $160 Savox 1251 servo - $70 SMC Racing 3s lipo - $60 Polycarbonate paint for the Cobra body that matches your car - $15-20 LiPo charger w/ fire safe bag - $75 I have had an older 4-tec but not the newer 2.0 model. I have heard its an absolutely great chassis though and knowing Traxxas they will be making it for years so parts will be plentiful. Option parts will also be plentiful so no problem going even more wild. [/QUOTE]
