Sounds like a heck of a project you got going on :)
 
Picked up this Losi SCTE 3.0 with a Castle ESC/Motor combo, lipo, and extra parts for $425.

I've been tossing the fishing kayaks in the back of the truck when I hook up the camper and really beating the crap out of them.
I've tried to put my ATV in the back of the truck and load the kayaks on top of that but just no room what so ever and I don't want to break anything on my ATV so I had to make a choice of taking the ATV or the kayaks but couldn't take both, so I bought this...

The kayak rack worked out perfectly...

2 pairs of Traxxas 8671 3.8 e-revo 2.0 black wheels (1/2" offset)
2 pairs of arrma backflip LP's
46T spur for the Traxxas Maxx 4S
Treal servo saver/bell arms for Traxxas Maxx 4S
Axial M5 Flanged Wheel Nuts AX31087 (I have 2, can't find the 2, to replace the stupid nut/washer on the maxx)

Had my first good run with the maxx 4s today at the grass bmx track. Started with traxxas 3.8 chevrons on geode rims... awful awful traction. So after running my e-revo 2.0 with a set of backflip MT's on it (on arrma 0 offset wheels), I threw those on the maxx. The difference was night and day. So much better. They did feel a bit big for it though, so I'll be putting a set of the LP's on it and on 1/2" offset wheels to add a bit of stability.
 
I actually ran it across my leg and it got me. Just a scratch but I'm sure it would do some damage if I was running it.
 
I'll take it out and snap a pic in the morning. It looks pretty nice with the new wheels. I still want to get a set of aluminum wheels but the few that I've found are out of stock.
 
Just a recap of what I've put into it so far. Keep in mind this is a Rovan and I bought it for $450 on sale a few years ago and I am very impressed with it.
It started out a Baja 5b but I installed the Q Baja shorty kit which is very cool. The wheels are plastic right now but I'm waiting for a set of aluminum I found online to be back in stock, also she is wearing a new set of tires.
A definite must was the remote kill switch which works perfectly.
I've replaced both servos because the throttle servo was acting up so I went ahead and replaced them both with the amazon specials which I've had great luck with.
The duel exhaust is actaully a single coming out of the head but It sounds pretty awesome.
I put on some shock covers but not really my thing so I'm gonna take them off.
Right now its a 30.5 cc but she is getting a O'neill 34cc Reed engine when they are in stock.
Right off the bat I replaced the rope starter with a roto starter so I can use my driver to start it. It sure is nice and I hate the rope thing..
