What Do I Need For My First Kit

[littlesten]

Hi everyone i am new at this whole RC stuff, i have a mad rat, it broke and i fixed it. But now i'm wanting to build a car.
I'm buying the Blackfoot X-treme kit which comes with the motor and ESC.

At the moment i know i need the RC System, however is this just the Transmitter and Receiver or do i need the Servos as well.

Also is there anything else i should be getting for example shock oil

Thanks For The Information/Help in Advance

if you have a mad rat already, take your servo and receiver out of that and use it in the blackfoot.

if you dont want to do that, just buy another receiver and servo for the blackfoot, then you can just swap the crystal from one receiver to the next and adjust your transmitter to suit both models, assuming that your transmitter doesn't have a model memory function.

im using to use a separate transmitter and receiver so my girlfriend and her sister can play with it while im on my mad rat
