spare and stuff
Ok, lipos are better than nimhs as they generally have more power, requires less maintenance, are lighter, and you don't need as many sets so work out cheaper - make sure you familiarise yourself with any rules regarding lipos that your local club (or where-ever you want to race) has. Some, like mine, say they have to be on the BRCA list (of which, there are currently NO micro lipos on that list), others simply state they have to be hardcased, others go by the micro section rules, and other clubs are "rules, what's them?".
The two easiest ways to tell if your charger will do lipos, are 1. it'll say somewhere on the charger / instructions. 2. it's age. If in doubt, do a google search or ask here with the make and model of your charger.
Parts, the shark has lots of different names, as lots of companies do their own copies, and I say copies, as literally, that's what they tend to be. Without tooting my own horn, check on LRP's website for shop details, but better still for the UK, check out SMD's website (remember to support your local model shop kids!). Failing that, try the bay.
Depending on what your running and where will determine tyre choice, but most people are going for Schumacher Rally blocks in white and yellow at the mo', which mount on standard size 1/10th touring car wheels.
