Anyway I'm thinking about which components to stick in to the car, at the moment I'm thinking about using the following:

Motor / ESC - Tekin Rx8 Esc & T8 2050kv Motor
Radio Gear - Spektrum DX3S V2 3CH DSM
Batteries - 2 x Turnigy nano_tech 5000mah 2S 45-90C Lipo
Servo - Spektrum Digital High Torque Metal Geared Servo
Tyres - Don't know yet idea's welcome..

So I'm wondering if the components above are the right ones for the job? Or if theres anything I've forgotten?

I do a bit of racing with colleagues on a private work track at 1:10th scale so I'm totally new to 1:8th. I'm hoping that the class will pick up in the UK as theres lots of car's around now.

as for kit here are my suggestions..


Motor / ESC - Tekin Rx8 Esc & T8 2050kv Motor
Radio Gear - futaba 4PL
Batteries - 2 x Turnigy nano_tech 5000mah 2S 45-90C Lipo
Servo - Orion Vortex High Torque Metal Geared Servo
Tyres - Dboots A compound

Spektrum radio systems can be tempermental at times and feel cheap and flimsy, 4PL is in another league IMO
