I came across Vant batteries being sold by The Barn Floor aka dirtcheaprc and on their ebay store. I ordered two because they are so cheap ($30 and 6000 maH and a 6 month warranty.

There is a thread discussing Vant batteries and this specific retailer on the forum as well. I can't post URLs yet unfortunately.
They'll work just fine...as good as anything else.

SupaStox GTs have been reserved prerelease to replace the regular SupaStox that are shipping back to England. Just have to wait for the release date of the GT now. The ESCs and tuning cards, motors, batteries and servos arrived today.

Speed control question. While I know the goal is low cost, was wondering if I can use a Tekin Gen 2 set up for 1 cell and blinky?

This is cost effective for us because the Gen 2 in my VTA can do the 1 cell. The other speed controls we have, cheaper ones don't so they would replace the gen 2 in the VTA. Let me know what you think?

Hoping to get ours friday, So I will have it ready for the 16th of Nov

Any bites on the speed control issue? Just would prefer to not have to pick up another speed control if we don't need to.

Your Tekin RS has a 1S mode, but will need booster or receiver pack to make it work. I still recommend spending the extra $49 for the Hobbyking Trackstar Gen II 1S.

Default SupaStox GT

Heads up for those building the new chassis...

Be sure the rear pod assembly is free and non-binding - do not proceed until you have that pod rotating freely.

No point in setting the car on the track if the pod is binding.

Quick question, don't see the 12000 silicone oil for the dampener in the box, is it actually the diff oil 12500?
