This is based on information over the phone from Modelsport but will buy the car from DMS. I'd love to go for the kit but to get I want will be out of budget. If anyone can advise on better alternatives for the B4.1 feel free to let me know.
Thanks again all, I love forums  wife thinks I'm weird. |
Looks to be a decent starter set-up. I'd be inclined to spend a bit more and get rechargable AA's for the transmitter, they can probably be charged with the Core charger (I say probably as I don't know that specific charger).
As I've said before though, for about the same money as the RTR B4.1, I got a new Mad Monkey kit and used electrics, which should out last the car and be more sale-able when/if I decide to upgrade.
Mad monkey - £65
Novak GTB esc - £45
LRP X12 motor - £35
Etronix 2.4GHz stick tranny and rx - £50
Savox servo (needed some wires patching up) - £25
Don't forget to budget for a set of wheels and tyres for racing. Don't know about Associated but the standard tyres on the Ansmann cars are not the best for most racing tracks.
