Always good to see some new interest coming through to the off road scene, as far as I can see everything has been pretty much covered.
The ansman seems to be a good choice of car although I have no personal experiance of them.
The only thing I would recommend is that you get a battery that is BRCA legal, although the club doesn't run to BRCA rules should you wish to race at different venues your LIPO may have to be BRCA legal, and if you wished to race in a regional or national event it would have to satisfy the rules. The legal batteries are also tested for safety for that little extra piece of mind. The list can be found at

I'd happily recommend, LRP, Nosram, Speedpower, Intellect and Vampire range of Lipo's.
