by the way, Jeff/Matt, you have a pm in about 5 minutes...

well I have a cpu in the attic but it just needs a hard drive. Hmmmm. it's only 3 years old though hmmmmm. I'll think about it.

Jeff, I have an extra supply, if it's rated right, you can have it...

now, I just spoke with geek (my little brother) he says that he doubts that the speed controller can actually detect the power (ac, dc, or exact dc) so it'll come down to is the speed controller rated to handle the voltage and just as importantly the amperage....

sweet.
Yea lipo is out of the question. I got the vxl now baby!

hey here is some pics of the one I just built. Put a led in it too like a power light. Pretty easy. Only got zapped 2 times. I didn't know I had to wait for capaciters to discharge lol
