Well, after 9 hours of wrenching, I have fully assembled my brand new sc10 4x4, good grief, time went by fast, almost missed going out on a date with my lady. Also made a few purchases for the new truck...

Tekin RX8 Esc - picked up from a local who never used it
Tekin Pro4 4600kv -sniped it on ebay
Hitec 7950 servo
Futaba 3pm-x radio

now I just have to decide on what kind of charger and two batteries that I want, plan on going with lipos obviously, so time to research. Now i'm eager to get this thing running to see how nice it is!
