I'm new to it but you'd need a servo, motor, speed controller and remote control with reciever. Probably less than $200 for half decent gear.
It's great fun though once you build it and take it to the the track with other racers. With these kits you can tinker with the suspension, camber and other things which you cant do on a toy grade.
More than $200 with battery and charger. If you put cheap junk in this kit you would be better off getting a cheaper kit.
True. I just bought a lipo charger for $110. It's not a cheap hobby thats for sure.
at least $200.
Only people who want to go into racing will buy these.
you'll get a similar enough performing RTR (ready to run) for $100 more.Team Associated have a RTR model called the Club Racer and it almost the same as this model. Still need to buy a controller though. I was keen on the RTR model since im a beginner but this deal popped up.
The good news is that if you do play with them at all, you'll get to spend a lot more on upgrades and spare parts.
Yes it’s fun before you start spending thousands per month, don’t ask me how I know.
Servo
Motor
Speedo
Radio tx/rx
Batteries and charger
Tires
Paint
Transponder if u want to race
List goes on foreverjust opened a forum post to discuss options..
I miss the hobby, but the bits and pieces were killing me.
It's no where near as financially destroying as it was back in the late eighties early nineties.
Ie: a battery pack would cost $400 in today's money and you could only use it once per week. It would have a 2 hour total lifespan. And you would need 6 of these per race meet, plus practice batteries. Special charger and discharger etc.
My HPI Savage I bought for $1000 with $400 in spares has been sitting on a shelf for 15 years after using it 4-5 times. What a pain Nitro was back in the day. Drive 20 mins, repair or tune 10hrs. Repeat.
I met this guy recently who only has nitro cars. His estimate is 20k worth of cars and parts in his garage. He carries a massive tool kit of spare parts with him when he goes out for a bash.
I want an 1/8 electric truggy.
I’ll sell you one!
Any details?
Based on the ad, you need;
Required to Complete
1:10 scale 540-size electric motor
1:10 scale electronic speed control
7.4V-7.6V LiPo with "shorty" battery dimensions
Battery charger (able to charge one of the batteries mentioned above)
2-channel surface transmitter, and its batteries
2-channel receiver
Steering servo
Pinion gear (48 pitch)
Spray paint for polycarbonate body
1:10 scale buggy wheels
1:10 scale buggy tires
Glue for tires and wheelsSo it's a pretty bare chassis.
Thinking about getting into RC scene and been reading about it the last few days.
Basically if that much is needed in this "kit", then you're better off buying a RTR "ready to run" instead.
I'm looking into a Kyosho Inferno Brushless RTR for around $600.
Realistically, $400 will not get you far in this hobby.
I will always count batteries and a good charger separately.everyone is starting off from RTR and everyone regretted starting off from RTR after the first few days.
Remember, if you are a grown man, you do look a bit weird by yourself with a 'toy' car shimming around the park. It gets boring really fast.
Yeah lol. It helped a bit when the 'toy' was my 1/5 scale eBaja but yeah without a track or space to make one, it does get boring quick. I moved onto R/C aircraft pretty quick after 1/8, 1/16, and 1/5 cars. Even the much more exciting Mavic doesn't get the use it deserves. Expensive hobby, but I have only ever owned 'cheap' electric gear so not too bad.
I agree but on a track its a different experience. The chase for better track times inevitably get you interested in tuning and upgrading your car. Then you join a club and then it's RIP wallet. I guess that's the difference between a basher and a racer.
Do you go to parks to show off?
These are racing buggies, you go to a RC track and do an triple jump 10 meters high and do a perfect landing to show off mate
How much I have to spend before I can remote control this buggy?
