Default newbie says hello

having regressed a but ive just bought an rc10 b3 from flea bay and its sitting at home for me as i type

cant wait to get stuck in and to draw upon and contribute to this huge community

the car comes ready to run but i need a lipo pack and charger - any thoughts?!

just casual use for me so no intentions to get too serious but would like to start thinking about upgrades etc....

first on the list will be new electrics... not sure about brushless yet as the outlay is a tad high but would certainly like to get quality servo and esc

Hi, don't give it a second thought...go brushless and lipo from the start...looks expensive but saves you both time and money in the long run...you'll only end up buying things twice, costing you more if you don't!

Lipo and brushless = long run times, no maintenance, no cell cycling = fit and forget fun!
NiMH's and brushes = short run times, maintenance hastle, battery cycling = no fun!

Enjoy
