OK OK good news parts are in

though further thinking carbon fiber and am band freq arent a good idea I decided to go with 1mm fiberglassed resin plastic similar to that other guy with the blue chassis. The gears I bought look like they will work marvelously.
Tower hobbies part numbers:
(2) tamw1832 - gear set
(2) tamw1936 - gear set
(2) tamw5285 - gear set
ok ok I bought 2 of each due to the fact each is a different sized gear mmmmm different gear ratios. Only used on gear outta the bags though

will place the gear size when I count them up.
Currently workin on top plate and how to lighten up the chassis. batteries I have located for 28$ + shipping (1020ma 7.2v 1.5oz) ASSEMBLED through Hooters link. Thanks bro.
Currently lookin at this motor plate i picked up I believe it should work well. Will see when I have it all mounted
Will post pics of how it looks on the stock (stripped to hell) chassis for the drivetrain (if I dont make a top plate I could see massive bindin in the shaft if any flex is involved)
Still lookin into to shock ideas. Any help on sizes would be great.
