Default Help me finish (for now) this build!!!

here is what I have now (cut from previous post)

Metal locking diffs
Rear lock outs, and stainless Axels
Front axel ends and carriers
Front CVDs
Losi red Chassis plates
Losi Aluminum shocks
Losi Aluminum, weighted bead lock wheels
Losi lower bent links
Pro-Line red Flatirons

My question is what should I add/change next? What would you do?

I have about $250 burning a hole in my pocket...I am trying to wait until the R/C swap meet this saturday, but I am not sure if I am going to make it......

For 250 you could get a hitech 645 $30-$40( in my opion a servo upgrade a must )
get a new speed controller tekin fxr/br1 mamba or any other there are a bunch of great ones out there from $60 to $120
get a new chassis gc2 / mini nino / rcbro's / the list goes on and on from $20 -$120

dont let that money burn too quick do some research with that much to spend you could have a really AWESOME rig! if your fealin charitable you could get me a rcbro's skulzv2 chassis! lol

I am going to check out the Swap meet this Saturday for a chassis I like and go from there....

I think the first 20 is going to go to get my STAR!

x2 on the star first. Then look at getting the chassis. I recommend the Mamba Micro, it will fit any chassis you buy. Also you can upgrade to Lipos with this ESC and be safe. The 16 dollar Losi Slider is a good upgrade as well. And get a body, the stock one sucks:-P

I thought the Mamba ESCs were for brushless?

I was thinking about getting the Teken crawler package for my 1.9 scaler and using the Novak micro sport ESC I have in my scaler now for the MRC.

I think I am going to look for a Basher body, or maybe a bug body from the mini-T.

If you naven't allready buy the Blue compound losi Claws....#1 mod for a stocker in my opinon. If your looking for a chassis wait for the Gatekeeper mini GC2

If you want a bug body, look for the one for the mini lst. The mini-t body is a little small.

I will check for the mini LST bug body. I think that suits my style more.

I LOVE the flatiorns so I don't think I am going to get new tires yet. But I will keep an eye out if they dont work how I would like.

I will check out the Mamba Micro this weekend at the swap meet.

Excited about all of this would be a major understatement!!!
