It all depends on your budget really, but I'll do 2 typical set-ups.

• Engine 1: RB S9 with matching pipe (about £200 ish)
• Engine 2: Sirio CL3B with matching pipe (about £180)
• Engine 3: Novarossi P5X with matching pipe (about £200-250)
• Steering Servo: ACE DS1015
• Throttle Servo: ACE DS1313
• Rx Pack: LRP 1500mAh/2300mAh LiPO with regulator
• Starter Box: SMD Evolution Box
• Starter Box Battery: 7Ah Motorbike 12V battery
• Starter Box Battery: 2x 4000mAh NiMH stick packs in series
• Starter Box Battery: 2x 7.4V LiPOs in series
• Glow Start
• Fuel Bottle
• Fuel: Byron 30%, O'Donnell 30%, UptiFuel 30%

BUDGET

• Engine 1: Picco P3 Basic with Pull start
• Engine 2: Go 3-port (the blue one)
• Engine 3: Something second hand
• Pipe: Hong Nor 086 or similar
• Steering Servo: Futaba 3305

Or, of course, convert it to electric!

mm why did i not say that:thumbsup:basher for me not got a clue

if you are going to bash it i would recomened going to www.rc10.com and look at the modification section due to modding the diff house for extra strength and this helps racing as well
