New Racer

[Hesketh racing]

Hi All

I'm Dan.

I've been bashing various Tamiya cars for a couple of years, and want to pop down at some point in April, to join the club and have a go on your outdoor track.

As a racing virgin, ideally I could do with a mentor, but will settle for any help i can get!

I've recently purchased a Team Associated b44.2

But could really do with some advice on the following:

- Decent paint. I've been using the Tamiya stuff, and It flakes off as soon as you look at it? Any advice on a decent brand?

- Tyres. I could do with something for the track, but also a harder compound for hard dirt/tarmac

- Esc and Motor. I was looking at a Team Orion vortex R10 - any feed back?

-Servo. I was looking at Savox servos. Any advice on these?

- Battery. I think it will need to be a sadle pack to fit in my car, but could do with a decent brand.

With terms of budget, I'd say within reason anything goes, but a slightly cheaper option would also be good.

I would really appreciate any advice that you can give.

Many Thanks

Dan Mercer
