If you're not ready to deal with the extra work that comes with LiPos, then you're definitely not ready to deal with brushless motors. Bro, it's not a criticism, just constructive advice. Brushless means Arduino, or something comparable to make it work right. It's way more than just rewiring or IMRs. Ask anyone.

As far as shells go, the Regulator is a primo option. It's big, with lots of add-ons, and there's enough room to do pretty much anything you want. Snikkas, or Artifact cages, 18 gauge, Arduinos, LiPos, IMRs, there's plenty of room for all that. Plus it's comfortable to handle for big guys like us.

I'll agree with you, the Stryfe itself is small. In stock form it's not very impressive. But add some good motors, a decent shoulder stock, a custom flywheel cage, some IMRs, and a CS-25, and you've got a zombie annihilating machine. Just sayin' I suspected the brushless motors were more work than what I described. It's evident I don't possess the technical prowess for something like that, but the new cage you mentioned with 180s or some other high-performing motor that can work on IMRS would be optimal (idk much about motors so forgive me). I do have a Regulator too (see the original post in this thread), but I'd prefer to keep that stock for the time being; it's snappy and accurate and well-performing as-is and I don't wanna mess with it. I was thinking something along the lines of a Gavin Fuzzy Custom shell kit for the Stryfe (I know those aren't made anymore) or something to that effect (maybe Worker or F10555), since I don't want to have to use another blaster for the mod. If I'm going to deck out the Stryfe's internals, might as well do the shell kit, too.
