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.

Status: offline 		Which one would you want?
eclipse
http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXTCC4&P=7
raybrig
http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXTRN2&P=7
Willcom
http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXTVY6&P=7

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.

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

Status: offline 		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.
