don't cheap out, start with a JR XR3i you wont be disappointed.
or get one like Kash has if money is tight.
speed control, go Tekin rebel 2
servo, a 645MG will work, it's just not my flavor, my servo is spendy but I compete
I have a brand new 55 turn for ya @ $20.
need a chassis?? I have a new SW2 for $50, that's $15 off, never ran.
I also have some nice shocks off a Max that are not the plastic ones for $40 new.
I also have 2 1700 Nicads that will work good for what you will be doing and those I'll sell real cheap at $25 for 2. They have Deans plugs, ready to go.
I am needing to get rid of this stuff and it is yours FIRST to buy, or it is all going up for sale tomorrow.
I also have link material for ya so you can make your own links, Kash can show ya that too, $20 and it is nice stuff, you will have more than enough material on that.
so don't ask people untill it goes there, I am doing the guy a favor, he fights for the right to wheel. :;
