Hi all,

About to purchase an ELX DB, it looks great and seems like something that would be fun to upgrade as I go. Fairly new to the RC world- started with a Tamiya Lunchbox with minor mods and more recently a Kyosho Mad Van which is still stock but with Lipo 2s.

As for the DB I would love to hear any recommendations on a motor and ESC upgrade to run Lipo 2s and any adjustments required (shaft/gears etc). So far I find the motor on the Kyosho Mad Van pretty capable with the 2s so something of a similar nature (otherwise something water res/proof would be a bonus).
Have local woodland nearby which is great when dry or slightly wet so I’m probably more worried about the water res or proofing of the components inside (I’ve used plasti dip on my Lunchbox previously for some of the more exposed components which has worked great so far).

Any help would be most appreciated!
