Default D4: Brushless + lipo + Custom hopups + HELP

Hey guys,


So im looking into some of the top stuff for my D4, top of the range brushless systems, lipo batteries and custom alluminium hop-ups and I've made a start with my radio gear with the futaba 3pk and 2.4ghz module that successfuly transmitted through my house so quite pleased with that.

So now im going to be looking at my brushless system, whats the best? is the simple question what will give me the performance that the D4 offers in potential. Lrp, Nosram, Novak? My budget at the moment by the way has no limit because these assets to my D4 will be added very slowly.

Now onto the battery, lipo's obviously. But I am having a tad bit of trouble with understanding this all. My charger already has the ability to do the job for lipos, it is the TLP x-15 but is there anything else i would have to do to charge the lipo, what i mean is can i just put "auto" on like it says? It was quite a price for it so I would think it would'nt do anything stupid if you get me but I am not sure. So Charger i think is in the bag now for the battery itself. Trakpower 4800mah saddlepack only 60 pounds much cheaper in HK that I can get, but what other good lipo's are there?

With the alluminium parts I am organizing with an old friend who has a massive workshop that He can help me produce the parts I need, especially the suspension wings! However I am looking at what to do about the front and rear hinge pins they seem to be quite easy to bend on impact but my friend has a lot of stuff he can give me

hop-ups I will also be purchasing such as the alluminium hub carriers, but do you think the front one way would be worth it? im not sure whether or not I should. Since I got the old version of the d4 I'l be getting the new front bumper that I will be fiberglassing for the extra strength and the lower wing mount. I will be using the Edit eu wing and shock spring set from losi, with the shock oil set.

So this is my target over how many years i do not know but i will have gone through enough birthdays and christmas's to have done it some day.

So, speed wise i'm looking high, hopefully.
,
Any contribution or help would be greatly appreciated,

Edd
