Battery - any sub c sized 6 cell brick pack will fit perfectly in the stock location. I also agree with going above 3000mah if you can. However, my advice is to consider if you're gonna upgrade to an aftermarket or custom chassis in the future. Fitting a massive brick pack in a new chassis isn't exactly easy. I ended up going to 2/3A 1500mah saddle packs for mine because they fit nicely on the back axle. Motor - any 380 sized motor should bolt right up with no problems. My motors are 400 sized and they're extremely close to the shocks...clearance is almost an issue. There's a list of good choices in the tips and tricks thread and all should bolt up with no mods. Servo - take your pick between all of the high torque servos basically. Hitec 645mg is a good inexpensive one. There are plenty of options for servos. Best thing would be to let us know what parts in particular you're looking for and we can give you a little guidance on the route to take. |

For a battery, lipo is the way to go. Smaller and offers a much bigger punch! This will alow you to get away from the big brick looking stick packs and allow you to have much more room! -Jason |

For motors...if you want cheap and pretty decent...go for banebots. If you want not so cheap and motors I've had good luck with...get cobalts. 454's are also really nice.
