Durga Shopping list?

[ricky1981]

Hi,

I'm looking to build a Durga and was wondering what I should include on my list in terms of hop-ups, better motor, radio gear, esc, etc. I have had nitro cars in the past (5-6 years) but sold all my kit!

Budget isn't a major factor so upto £4-500 for everything I would need is okay. Ideally would like to have the option to go brushless and or lipo either straight away or soon.

Would be perfect if I could buy everything in one place too but realise that may be pushing my luck!

thanks in advance!

Which front CVD, motor and lipo batteries would you recommend (I'm shopping on rcmart at the moment)

thanks

are you building the car to race or just for a bit of fun?

Just for fun, so some extra speed would be good but I'm more concerned about having a good solid build initially so would rather spend some extra and then less time on repairs!

If it is just for fun then I probably wouldn't bother with any options at first (just upgrade if/when you break).

If you are looking for an easy build though DEFINITELY get a hex screw kit of some sort. The standard phillips head screws are a real pain.

Since you want easy speed focus your budget on the brushless motor combo - get a good quality sensored setup and it should be a good basis for anything you want to do (including racing in the future perhaps).

I think £400-£500 budget will still be a shade tight if you are starting again from scratch, especially if you go down the quality brushless route, because you need radio gear and chargers etc too. You might just be able to do it though.
