Jealous... however i fear it would just be another thing i bought, just about found the time to build, and never got to play with
You need a servo, esc speed controller and radio gear. You can get all separate, or buy a bundle. I usually go for seperate. Servos are pretty much std items and same as ones used in pinballThis thread really makes me want to buy one I assume I'd need a bundle with all the bits to make it work?
So far all the models I've done have come with the esc. But some don't of course.You need a servo, esc speed controller and radio gear. You can get all separate, or buy a bundle. I usually go for seperate. Servos are pretty much std items and same as ones used in pinball

I had almost forgotten about the 5 min run time , it was a pain in the bum that was . In the end I bought 4 batteries and a quick charger that I plug into the car for a fast 15 min change , come to think of it I may still have that charger it was in a yellow box !These are the folks I buy from. They’re on eBay too but direct shows you all they have. They do the bundles too.

Once you have the batteries and charger, future bundles won’t need those. Batteries have come on massively, I use to have packs that would do a series of racing and then drop inside the 5 minute race time so I had to buy more. These modern ones last longer than my kid has interest and we bought two packs.
ESC and receiver are needed for each car, you could then have one controller that is shared between a collection. But then what do your mates play with when they come over?
I still use old crystal sets but finally got use to a steering wheel and do not use a stick.
Yep, I remember the discussions at weekend meets about what grease was best!!I had almost forgotten about the 5 min run time , it was a pain in the bum that was .
