New TRX 4 kit

[redpeppers]

Entering the world of crawling for the first time coming Saturday when I pick up my TRX 4 kit so excitement is running high. I haven't decided on a body yet - might go for the Sport to start off with and then get a clear Defender one later on that I can customize. Will be trying out the Hobbywing 1080 and a 25kg servo, a 5000mAh 11.1V battery and SkyRC S65 charger. Should I be aware of anything running the 1080 that could affect the diff and 2-speed servos? Also need to figure out how to connect a light kit to it. Thinking of getting the GMade S02 beadlock wheels which I assume will fit without any modifications. Keeping the TQi radio for now. Mostly trail running lying ahead and some snow runs from November onwards. Is there anything I missed?

The 1080 is a perfect choice.

A 5000 mAh, 3S LiPo is going to be huge and heavy and I wouldn't recommend it. You're better off getting two or three 2200 mAh batteries.

Your on the right track, other than your brick of a battery. I second the motion to get multiple 2200's for similar money. I've been running Turnigy and Zippy 2200mah 40c 2s and 3s packs for years and they've become the standard I now build my homemade trays to fit. No need for larger packs unless your running stupid powerful brushless with a heavy throttle finger.
