Few quick Q's

[GeorgeC]

So I came by last week and was very interested in coming and joining the club

I'm looking to drop by Apex tomorrow to pick up a buggy, I realise most people are on 2wd but I really like the look of 4wd, specifically the b44.2 although the kyosho fs2 sp seems nice (and I remember looking at catalogs for ages as a kid a the kyosho buggies) parts seem a little sketchy?

So presuming I go with a b44, i've got a few quick q's:

What are some esc / motor recommendations? I'm leaning towards a Tekin RS Pro and Tekin redline 6.5t?

What is the actual rules for the club on motors for 4wd class (I gather Thursdays a free but a Sunday will be controlled?)

What are some tyre recommendations for the astro?

I've seen some people saying the ball links on the b44.2 are a bit fragile does anyone have experience with this? Are the rpms a good substitute?

I was planning on getting a hybrid transponder from http://www.bbksoftware.com/ seems the only place in in the uk?

Should I be thinking about anything else? I have radio gear and chargers, I'll get at least 1 BRCA approved lipo saddle pack and probably a couple of Turnigy nano tech's for practice.

To start with I likely only make the Thursday meets unless I'm away with work, if i can do a respectable job then I'll try and make the odd Sunday.
