It's too bad that Ofna is gone, Hoboa does distribute their own cars in the US now though, so those models are still available.

Are parts for that Tamiya Twin Detonator getting hard to find?

Also I found a wiring diagram for running dual brushless motors and escs. With the Twin Detonator having two batteries I would run another parallel adapter. I would not run each esc off its own battery, you might have issues with one hitting lvc before the other.

Stock parts I dunno but I can get most things from rcdamper on ebay. If anything really breaks a router and a sheet of carbon fiber I can make just about anything that would commenly break.

Slick what were those brushless setups from hobbyking or somethingyou posted a while ago?

[Slick2500]

I don't remember posting about a brushless system from Hobbyking.
If I was you I would just order up 2 Hobbywing wpbl60 escs, and 2 3650 size brushless motors off ebay. Something between 3000-4000 kv.

I want to buy a 3d printer so I can make things like spacers and rear arm guards and stuff.

Cool.

Probably overpriced like everything else. I think Traxxas makes quality stuff, but the prices are sometimes crazy. When I got my 2wd bandit vxl, I paid over $300 for that. A couple years later I bought a 1/8 ofna lx2e buggy for $20 cheaper, and paid $60 for two 2s 50c lipos.

Yeah current model is $450, and I am guessing the kit will be about the same price.( Nice to see Traxxas doing kits again, and a build to drive kit at that.) And add on another $50-60 for the body, then I'm sure the lift kit will be another $50-60.
They also have another body coming out looks pretty sick.
