More to it than that but I'm happy.
Actually placed an order with rcplanet on Wednesday. Everything showed in stock but as of today there were no updates. I was really hoping to make this a weekend project as it's a long one for me.
Started looking around for rc shops today. Called a few and ended talking to a guy for a while. They support everything but as for cars they're traxxas exclusive. He had some recommendations for me but said he was out of cars and chargers right now.
When I mentioned that I wanted to build from scratch he said he had the one kit in inventory, the stampede 4x4. No chargers though. Told him I'd be there in an hour and would figure out the charger later.
Called rcplanet to cancel my order. Was told it was held up over some AA batteries. Whatever, would've snagged them elsewhere if your site was up to date. Order canceled.
When I arrived on site he had the kit ready. Told me while his normal charger inventory is gone, he had one left but it's a dual version, costs more. At this point I don't care and want to rip up some grass this weekend. He's almost apologizing for offering it as an option.
Long version short:
Bought the stampede 4x4 kit
Got a couple of 3000 mah batteries
Charger is working away.
Kit is almost built, basically need to attach the front and rear to the chassis and we're good.
Body is going to look fugly because idgaf.
