Regarding ESC punch setting, read the instructions carefully. Manufacturers differ - 30% can mean 30% punch, or it can mean 30% limiting!
Batteries - I've found packs with a higher C rating to be more reliable over a longer period. When new, smaller C rating perform ok. By choice I'd say at least 50C at 4000mah.
Choice of 2wd car - choose something popular at the club. You'll get help with spares and set up.
Motor - a modern 8.5t is the best all rounder. You can quieten it down regarding punch, and you can wind it up on a long straight. It's pointless working hard to get past someone in the infield, only to have then fly past you on the straight!
Enjoy your racing.
Hang on we've two threads getting confused here, creme egg you really should start a new thread rather than taking over someone else's
