how about the battery, should i buy my friends integy 6c 3600 mah and a traxxas motor for $30 or buy sum other battery?

xxCARLOSxx

wait... does this kit even bring a motor with an ESC or do i have to buy that too?

The Mad Modder

The "R" version requires"R/C system, ESC, battery pack, body, motor, tires, and pinion gears". You may want a regular ta05 ifs. The regular Ta05 ifs kits require only the battery, esc (one even comes with an esc), and radio system.

xxCARLOSxx

yea now i think imma go with the IFS

and for the radio controller, would this be good? http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...I=LXNHS2**&P=0

The Mad Modder

Futaba makes the best radios in my opinion. I've owned them for 8 years without a problem.

The Mad Modder

Which one would you want?
eclipse

raybrig

Willcom

You may want to get the eclipse or raybrig and buy an esc separately. For the $50 that you save, you could get a Novak XRS or Futaba MC230CR. They will handle hotter motors than the stock esc.

and those cars at towerhobbies are expensive... i found a website were they sell them for $140 and they have the Ebbro 350r body which is my favorite out of all the options


i liked the futuba ESC better and i found this kit (http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...I=LXENN1**&P=7) that brings all the radio stuff and the ESC

ok and how about the battery, what should i get?

The Mad Modder

Just be careful for scams.

Do you have a charger? Also you'll need polycarbonate (lexan) paint for the body.

xxCARLOSxx

Sum Pics- painted it myself and everything

The Mad Modder

For a charger, I'd recommend the super brain.

and if i decide to buy the IFS-R... what pinion gear do i have to get? does it depend on the motor?

The Mad Modder

I would start with a 22 tooth (since that's what comes with the regular IFS's) and go up or down from there depending on if you want a higher top speed or faster acceleration.

xxCARLOSxx

i was looking around for pinion gears but they all look different... what do i have to look for? con yiu give me a link plz?

xxCARLOSxx

this (http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXWU01&P=7) would make it have less acceleration but higher top speed correct?

The Mad Modder

Yeah, quite a bit more speed. You'd want to make sure you have a powerful enough motor, though.

xxCARLOSxx

thanks for everything!

xxCARLOSxx

what one last question(for now)... if i buy this radio set (http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...I=LXENN1**&P=7) i have to buy a second servo right?

The Mad Modder

No problem.

The Mad Modder

No. You'd only need a second servo if you used a mechanical speed control.

xxCARLOSxx

k man thanks for everything again i really appreciate it... oh and i think im buying it tomorrow, i cant wait !

im sorry again lol, but does it bring rims and tires?

The Mad Modder

I think it comes with wheels, but not tires.

Be sure to make a thread with pics of it when you get it.

xxCARLOSxx

k ill do that! thanks!

xxCARLOSxx

wat tires do you guys recommend for use on asphalt that dont wear out fast but are cheap?

would these be good and would they fit? (http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXTU38&P=ML)

The Mad Modder

Not absolutely positive, but I think that they will fit. The dimensions indicate that they would.
