check out blew by you racing or climate models. they both have good stuff and the prices are good. the most expensive part is getting batteries and chargers etc. 6 cell vees can be relatively cheap to build if you do it right. look at fuller's hardware. trinity and reedy car motors can be had for a good price if you go to tower hobbies. whatever you go with, i'd recommend a surface piercing setup and wire drive. that's my 2 cents.

6 cell setups are a low initial setup cost but the maintenance costs will start to add up. You will need com lathes, have to replace brushes. Rebuild motors. Look into a 12 cell 700 setup. I have 700 motors in my boats that are 5 years old and still perform like they were new.
