Hi, I am about to purchase a Serpent e-truggy really soon and have some questions.

Background: I have recently gotten into rc and am now playing with a Traxxas Stampede (4wd brushed). I want a faster car with better build quality. I will mainly do bashing but hopefully some track driving too but most likely not participate in races. After a lot of googling and forum studies I have settled for an e-truggy. As I live in Sweden not all models are easily accessible, for example it is hard to find Mugen and the RC8T3e can I only find in kit version.

Questions:

• I am tempted to buy the RTR version instead of kit for a couple of reasons:
• * It would take me some time to figure out a good combination of motor, esc, servo, radio etc and locate some vendor.
• * I am not that sure of my building ability although it would be fun to try. I don't have any airbrush equipment though and I assume that the kit body comes unpainted.
• Does the RTR and kit version differ in any way except that the kit version comes without motor, esc, ...? Ie, will diffs, shocks etc be better in kit version?
• If I want to run 2x3s lipos I assume I would need to get a sensor based motor to handle the higher voltage at lower speeds, right? Or is it crazy to run 6s with 2000kv motor, ie will it generate too much heat?
• One vendor close to me has the RTR bundled with 2x2s lipos at 7600 mAh (VANT BATTERY 7.4V 7600MAH 75C ROAR APPROVED, VANT7600-DE) and a charger (EV-PEAK CD1-XR TWIN CHARGER 2X10A, CD1-XR). Are these lipos and charger reasonable or am I better off shopping around?

Thanks in advance.
