Hi brianh,
trannywise heres a link to my supplyer
http://www.microtechracing.com//prod...+KITS+2%2E4GHZ
depends wether you prefer stick or wheel, I have wheel.
They are also my supplier for the losi 6.5T at £117.44 delivered UK.
They do overseas orders I am sure so if you email them using the contact addy on their home page they will give you an all in one price for what you decide on.
Batterywise, I use 4200 niHm saddle packs as the BRCA is going to insist on blast bags for charging at their events for safety reasons as is my club for the coming season.
Check out forums and local clubs for yours in your area etc.
Only other thing I changed was a faster servo for steering as we have a quite twisty track and the normal servo was slowing me down, I used a bluebird 631MG (0.06 sec) as opposed to most normal ones around 0.20 sec. just personal preference though.
Gearing wise its dependant on track conditions/layout, as a starter I was advised to set the gear ratio up so that the car reached its max speed between 1/2 and 3/4s of the way down the main straight (longest) then go up or down 1 or 2 teeth on the pinion to get a compromise if neede for the bends etc. worked for me, but is crucial for the track or circuit your running on to get fastest laps.
If your joining a club then the only other thing you would need if they do not have them for use by members is a personal transponder for recordingyour laps etc. AMB ones are what we use in UK or clones of them; find out from the club you would join before buying though.
Hope this helps you make you decisions M8
