If I look at the sport combo

http://www.modelsport.co.uk/ansmann-...products/39323

It suggests the Ansmann W5 but I was looking at the Kyosho Syncro KT201. I appreciate its twice the price but thought it may be better for the little man as it doesn't have an extended aerial (the metal aerial on his cheap scooby looks like the letter S!) and it suggests its lighter as its only 4 batteries so may be better for him, assuming he can pry it from my hands

The other option is the battery. It suggest a 3300 7.2V but also offers a 4500 7.2V, will this give me better run time?

Also have seen bits on the forum around bearings replacing the bushes, shall I buy them at the same time?

All recommendations appreciated. I'm bored of looking and want to start building

Thanks in advance
Have a look at this one.. the Etronics it has a solid short aerial also, only a few £ more then the Ansmann..the Ansmann does have a short aerial btw..it's about 10cm long and simply folds down, it's not a meter long metal thing.

The 4500 will be a better choice if it's in the budget.

Bearings... RC Bearings sell Madrat ones. Not sure if that's a perfect set for a Monkey.
