I need help on what to buy i.e roller, moter, esc.. if anyone can point me in the right way or has some stuff forsale to get me started that would be ace.... i dont know if i am right but am i right in thinking that with a budgit it would be better for me to buy second hand kit rather than say an rtr????

Hi

I put a reply to your wanted ad although to be honest you'll be better off finding out what is popular at your local so you'll be able to borrow spares and get help on setups etc.

You'll need 2 cell lipos in either stick format or saddle pack (2 individual cells) depending in the car - more cars seem to be going saddle pack although many can take either. Motor-wise if you are racing indoors you'll not really need anything much more than about 7.5T in 4wd and 8.5T in 2wd. Unless the track is huge you'll probably end up going faster with something like a 10.5 as the power delivery will be less abrupt.

If you want to go 4wd there are some cracking deals on brand new SX3s at the moment. Alternatively it should mean secondhand SX3s should be even cheaper
