Getting started.
To get started you will need the following:
Car – Of course Set of tyres Radio Gear – Decide stick or wheel Receiver Servo ESC – Speedo Motor Lipo’s – 1 off to start Lipo Charger Lipo Bag – Don’t forget Health and Safety 2mm Hex driver 1.5mm Hex driver Tool Box / Bag Optional Stuff Good sense of humour Personal Transponder More Tool –various socket drivers, Camber Gauge, turnbuckle wrench, ride height gauge etc. (you can borrow tools if needed) 2nd set of Lipo’s Hauler Bag – This is when you realise you have all the gear and no idea. This all depend on how big your budget is….. Start with your radio gear, find out which suits you best (stick or wheel); this is where I would focus your budget. If you buy decent stuff you won’t need to change it and you should progress quicker. E.g. you can have the best car in the world, but if the kit you use to control it is poor, the car will always be poor. Then you can decide what car you should get, On road or Off road. At our winter venue we cater for both, racing indoors on carpet and at our summer venue, we only cater for the off road racing on grass. I would recommend getting a car that other members are using. This will help with set-up, spares and breakages that will more than likely happen. Popular Cars used at Wbmcc are (not in any order): Off Road class: X-ray xb4 2wd Schumacher KF and Sv2 Team C/Ansmann Durango 210 Team Associated Serpent Kyosho On Road classes: Clubman: Mostly Tamiya Touring: Xray Schumacher GT12: Schumacher Mardave All are great cars and there isn’t much between them, but you have to consider different thing before buying. Again, it’s all about your budget. Come down and we can talk you through it
