not sure at all about the outrunner that's why I'm asking. I'm still new to brushless and lipo this stuff was not around when I was younger.

I'd wait on it. I've cursed myself more than once doin this.

1st do your research for what ya need then research the parts. Sme guys are running outrunners but i am the last to say anything about set ups
personally i like the swapshops It is a bit more personal, If used you can get a history of the item ebay not so much. Now new items if it is from a reputable vender go for it..... Not so much for info about the items but more about shopping for them. Dave

Thanks Hugh great link, I think I'll go for it. not a lot to lose here like some of the bigger stuff. Hell it's cheaper than the crappy tenergy batteries I bought

[Avanti]

well this is what I went with (I will worry about a 2s lipo later) I liked what I saw for that Santee spec hydro seems like a great starter class for guy/gals on a tight budget. I'll let you know how it works out when I get my goodies and install them.

Hey Avanti, for future referance, UH.com has some cheap, nicer I guess lipo batteries. They sell them under that zippy lipo name. Seems like they had the smaller ones like this with 20-25-30c continuous discharge rates. Might be a little nicer than some ebay packs, but who knows. just thaught you may like to check them out. seeya.

[Avanti]

the motor and esc was under 30 bucks
and the battery was like 15

should hold me over till I can get some extra cash flow going.

Thanks everyone
