OK, here is the plan, I am getting a factory team B3 for christmas.
Here is what will be in it...

LRP 7.1 ESC
LRP FM Reciver(phaser)
P2K pro motor
Hitec-Lynx

Can you tell me about the quality of these parts? I will be using the car for racing only, but i can not afford a better radio or a great servo. Can you give me some sugestions on a servo for up to 40$? I really apprecate it.

All that stuff is top level.

You can't go wrong.

As for the servo, since you will have a hitec radio, take a look at their servos.

They have a lot that are excellent for under 40 bucks.

thanx alot hpiguy, o and by the way it is the hitec lynx FM radio. Is the LRP phaser better than the XXL reciever from novak? Because the XXL is 20$ cheaper.

Thanx again....

Just stick with the Hitec receiver.

The Novak and LRP stuff is no better than the Hitec. It's all marketing mumbo jumbo.

Save the money, and use the stock stuff until it breaks, then buy that stuff if you want.

Don't believe the hype that the ads try to sell you.

I have a B3 and race using a Formula 10 from Tekin and a JR XR2 radio with the stock servo, and receiver and hold my own. Those guys who blow a wad are outclassing their car for their skills.

Spend your cash on tires, inserts, shock oils, pistons, etc. AND most importantly PRACTICE TIME. Nothing makes you better than lap after lap after lap of practice and racing. NOTHING.

Im with HPIGUY on this one. Save the money and dont buy the extra RX. You didnt mention batteries or charger. Do you already have these? If not your going to need a good peak charger, and you can never have to many batts. Use the money saved for that.
