thanks guys
luckily i'm starting with a roller from a friend. just have to convert it back to nitro. he has the radio tray, motor mount, fuel tank, and clutch for it.
on the engine topic.. if the 427 only gets 6-7 minutes on a tank, i'll definitely be looking into a .21
i have a nova .21 on my 1/8 GT car.. if all else fails, i might have to rob that.
and im trying to keep the engine budget between 100-200, because im seriously just gonna bash the living hell out of it trying to keep up with my brushless friends haha
