So what kind of Motor's do people run in these? Do i get the lower KV ones to get more torque, i assume torque is better for off roaders.
Also about the servo, are there any specific specs i need to look at so that i dont get sluggish turning on grass etc? Does it need to be low profile?
Im looking at getting the Turnigy Nano Tech saddle Lipos from hobbyking, people used them before, will they fit? Whats delivery time like to the UK?
What do you guys recommend?
Im looking at spending £150 on electrics, Motor, ESC, Servo, Lipo, Receiver.
Was going to pick up one of those cheap receivers off Ebay for my DX2.

Hi, that is an excellent deal, is it a brand new car?
Going by other racers, with the 'rango, most people are running between 7.5 - 5.5 turn motors, the kv types are more aimed at the rtr, but the higher the number the faster the motor.
No need to run a low profile servo, Savox servo's are good quality for the price and have a servo to suite every aplication.
Cannot really go wrong by buying second hand off the for sale section, electrics are generallly very good, keep to the main makes and keep your eyes peeled.
The saddles you mentioned should fit, the 410 has different height holes for a\ll the different lipo sizes.
Good luck.
