Hi,
Welcome back.
The predator has been updated and Is a good car in some peoples hands, although it's not for me. The most popular cars at the minute are the tamiya 511, associated b44.1, Durango dex 410, kyosho fs2, and cat sx3.
If your starting out again and you have a budget then I alwas recommend a second hand associated b44 you can pick a good one up for around £100-120 mark.
Radio gear - 2.4 ghz is the thing to have. Crystals are a thing of the past. Spektrum are popular as are the other older brands futaba, ko, Sanwa.
Cells, you will need one or two lipo packs only, I use smc 5200 mah 60's. No longer is power a problem. You good go for well I've the 10 minute mark..
Motor/speedo - brushless. Speed passion, orca, the new Orion, are a few that are popular. Get the best esc you can afford. I use speed passions gt pro, and lpf. Motor wise for a 4wd a 5.5t or 6.5t. You need one motor, my current motor has been in the car a year. I've not touched it since putting it in.
Servo's the savox range is popular, get a fast metal geared servo.
Charger and imax b6 style charger load of peole have rebranded this charger.
Thanks
Matt
