...of racing. Im getting back into electric stadium truck racing. So once I sell my NQ I will have around 400 bux to spend. Here is what I have chosen:
Losi Dirt-Spec XXXT (have bearings, want the blue stuff) $159
LRP F1 PRO reversing ESC with lock out $104
JR XR2 radio $99
=$362
Is there anything else I need? I have the motor battery and charger, is the Duratrax Intellipeak pulse enough? here is a link to it http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p.pgm?Q=1&I=LXUF43&P=7 it does charge NiMH since it is a neg. delta peak charger, as long as I dont let it trickle charge. I was gonna spring the extra $$ for a motor lathe or the JR xr3, but I will get the brushless novak motor once it comes out so I dont need it (saved 100 bux for it so far) and do I really need the XR3? I think the xr2 will be fine, but I can get the xr2 if needed. Also, WHAT COLOR SHOULD I PAINT THE BODY?
