Also we would like to know a decent handset, I’ve always used a toggle but he fancies a trigger handset.

Also the motors I used to run were 15 trebles and 12s, but to find out it’s now 17.5 or 10.5, what’s the difference and also where’s a nice reasonable shop for gear like this

I was thinking of fixing the car I have now up just to see how he gets on for the first couple of weeks,

Is there anywhere that sells 2nd hand set ups just to get us going or, is it better to make it from scratch

Thanks again
Ok its dependant on what your after but you could aim for a 8.5t motor and just turn don the speed so when he gets betterc ou wont need to buy another motor. Orion do a good one, but prcey so always a cheaper variety around like hobbywing, but you need one capable of 5.5 as yes youll never use that wind in a 2wd but the esc will be capable and means more reliable. Lipos most use a shorty pack but are all around the same price range, but you will need a charger for that as well that can balance charge. Oakdale, well you must have seen me there as i was there every week as well.
