More thoughts :::::
Have you looked at the rules for your local tracks? Most places have a stock spec class some have a mod class and even at that our club only allows sct wheels = 2.2 outside diam 2.2 or 3.0 inside. This could save you the money on the 17mm hex;s and buggy wheels. J concepts has wheels and goosebump or bowtie tires to fit.
Weight don;t worry about making it so light if it is brushless you will need some weight in the right places. Moveable weight is not bad.
Chrome bumper? Bumper with lights? these things are not (in my opinion) going to look very nice after some serious racing. Could be left out.
I like to keep the motor and esc as a combo = same make, that may not mean a thing but, if you have trouble with one or the other the manufacture can't blame the "other" part as the reason it failed.
This is your truck build how you want !! and HAVE FUN

Not really two for one. More like 2 for the price of 5. If you where going to do this from the start than you should have saved your money, bought all the peices, then just got a tranny and put it on. The initial cost of the slash would be cut out. I see a lot of this as just throwing away money, but I was 14 once too and did build a full alloy mini t :/ Who's paying for all this? Can I be adopted by your parents?

Dont get so defensive. Sheesh. Some of us just look and see money that could be well spent in other places. Even on another rc.
