Yeah if he had to put it together its a Team Kit.

Do you know what servos are in it?


Not sure... I will try and look at the pics again... Does the kit come with servo's??? I thought you had to supply your own with the kit?

Now this is the kit I am buying for 375.00

Status: offline 		Yeah if it was a kit then there where no servos. I was thinking you where still
looking at a RTR or a used kit that already had servos installed.

Get a pair of the AE or ACE 1015s ( they are both the the same rebranded ThunderTiger units)
The 1313s are a good servo but there has been several right out of the box failures reported
at RcTech on the 1313, normally they are bulletproof so there may be a bad batch of 1313
servos out there. The 1015 is faster and stronger for only a few bucks more. Tower Hobbies
has them for 89.99 each and a 20.00 coupon code for all orders over 199.00. 010RP is the code
so a pair of servos and a couple other small things will get you to 199.00.

Power plant will most likely be an RB with pipe.

Status: offline 		I would have to say Spektrum. Most likely a DX2.0 or DX3.0 when you start getting up
to the DX3R the price is just to close to a M11 or 3PKS.
Not sure about the Nomadio, no one really runs one of those around here
and I don't think they gained quite as much popularity.

I run the nomadio. I actually was going to buy the DX3R but everytime I went to one of the lhs. One of the guys would mention the nomadio. So I went online ans started looking for nomadio tx rx bought one used for $130. I love it has all the adjustments of the other radios. It tells me my engine temp and my rx & tx bat level, connection strength, rpm's things other radios can't do. Not to mention just plug it into the computer to update to the latest version. The most funny part is when I went to the track I saw the shop owner and a couple of the other guys. They were running Nomadios . This shop carries everything from xray - losi m11's - kpro's and they still run the nomadios.

What ever buggy you buy plan on taking it apart completely and reassembling before its first run. I bought my losi used for $350 I got a brand new TF chasis, 3 sets of tires, spare parts, both servos, and a JP2 pipe, with upgraded losi chasis braces F/R, bearing inserts, hing pin braces F/R and made a good friend.
