my questions are:
which brushless system should i go with
do i need 1 lipo or 2. im lost in the lipo department

thanks for any help in advance.

Like mentioned before hand, if you like novak products (I do)
buy the novak conversion and you will be set.

As for the lipos. if your buy a battery pack that is 2s you will need 2 of them as that is a 7.4 volt pack. If you buy a pack that is 4s you will need only one because that is 14.8 volts.

Personally I would buy 2 packs that are 7.4 each because they are more versitle when it comes to putting them into other trucks, buggies or cars. If you buy a 4s 14.8 volt pack your limited to an High Volt application only.
