Would you change anything listed here?

[Yatesy]

Looking to get back into the hobby after 20 plus years away.

Looking for a full used setup if possible but been thinking of saving some money up & going for new. I like the idea building process & think it good knowing what goes where!

I've complied a shopping list & would appreciate any good/bad feedback.
Feel free to recommend any particular bits that I may have forgot or that could improve things.

Cheers

Instead of buying the block saddle lipo get a actual set of saddle lipo's, will make it easier in the future if u change cars for different battery layouts.

If ur spending around £76 on speedo an motor combo id suggest getting a speed passion reventon r combo, comes with a setting box an they are a lot more tunable and common. Its also sensored so getting on the power will be smoother

Hi,

Before you order tyres, are you going to run at local club?
Check what tyres / inserts they use and order the same.

Also, check prices at other shops. Could save a tenner on the kit price straight off.

Skip that ESC/motor combo go with K-Brewer's suggestion and get the reventon combo. You never want to go sensorless unless you never intend to go to a track.

Any particular saddle lipos you would recommend?

Look on hobbyking for turnigy saddle lipos could get 2 sets for the same price as 1 block lipo
Also take a look at the turnigy track star turbo range really good when I ran them
Also don't forget front tyres and some tools hex drivers and nut drivers

Turnigy lipo's are easily the best bang for your buck! I like the 5100 65c saddles, I also have a set of 4850 50c's and they are really nice also.

Not sure if this of any help to you but there is this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Absima-CR3...3D221985972918
Its the next one up from that radio in the pic for just £10 more, I heard the receivers by hobbywing work (there like a £5 if i remember correctly with this not sure about which ones but i am sure someone on here will know.
Like other people have said shop around MB models have that kit posted for £10 less.

Happy shopping, post again with an update

p.s an aluminum front pin brace may be a good option, I have the b5m and have found that the plastic pin brace edges can crack in a crash putting all the strain on the bulkhead which breaks the bulkhead. Broke 3 bulkheads this way (only real weak point ive found with b5m) switched to aluminum one 6 months ago haven't broke one since. jconcepts do one for £9 ish team associated do one foe around £11.

P.P.S not sure if this is useful or not to you just found it other day http://site.petitrc.com/setup/associ...upGuide201503/

If you buy the Hobbyking Turnigy lipos make sure you get the Turnigy 'Ultimate' variety as I believe these are the ones that are BRCA approved. The others work fine but you can't use them at BRCA sanctioned events.
