Rob, if you get bitten by the Offshore Racing bug, I'd go with an Aeromarine Avenger cat like the one in my pics. $180 + $40 shipping. That hull is tough enough & corners great - ready to race out of the box. Just add hardware & electronics & go. Check them out. JIM http://www.aeromarinerc.com/index.ph...emart&Itemid=1

For a "budget minded" setup, I will suggest 10s2p and:

The gasser mount that I modified was bought for about $75 on Ebay. I think one of the OSE versions will suit you better. JIM
