well I'm going to start plaining the chassis. It needs to fit 7 4,500mah sub-c cells so I'm going to need to be creative.

edit: or this motor http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXJBY9&P=0

Just wondering if that esc can handle normal hpi modified motor? As that esc seems very cheap!! i'm just after an esc for modifed motor...

I recommend you look for an LRP Quantum speed control for your 540 micro instead. The Pro Sport or even the Competition should prove ideal and are very tiny. That Duratrax ESC is quite large and heavy and may not be the best choice.

CO27 motors are the hot ticket right now for 10th scale sedans but almost any stock 540 motor will make your micro ballistic. I've always liked the P2K motors as they seem to produce lots of torque compared to say the Monster Horsepower.
