Okay, so I was saving for the RTR version, but now I think I want the 26 so I am going with the kit. But this is my first kit so what else do I need to complete it.

Links would be great.

Thanks.

welcome to the large scale hobby by the way

nothinbetr2do

you will need a remote, a receiver, a batt, a on/off switch, and a servo for the throttle/brake

I have no clue what to look for when looking for those things and which ones will work properly. Where is a good site to look for them at?

these are bottom line links. this is just the basics to get you started. you will be happier with a better reciever pack and radio. you need a good 200 oz servo. this is what i have in my ss. i went with the bare minumum and it works great. wish i got a better radio, but it works fine. youll also need a fail safe, battery charger for the reciever pack. i use a standard peak charger. the rtr comes with all that stuff as well as a faisafe. but you'll be hapier with the 26cc over the 23cc. hope this helps

Also, what is a failsafe?

Foxy

There are three or more different types of failsafe, ranging in functionality. The main categories are failsafes are those which apply brakes in the event of:
[ul][*] signal loss only (if you go out of range, or have a TX problem, the car automatically brakes)[*] signal loss and low voltage (same as above, but also activates and applies brakes when your receiver battery runs out)[*] Signal loss, low voltage with engine cut off (all of above, except, in the event of any kind of radio interruption/failure, the car applies brakes AND switches off the engine instantly).
[/ul]

I highly recommend investing the extra $10 or so, in a failsafe which cuts the engine off. A runaway 25lb car at 40mph is likely to do serious damage to anything it hits, including people, property and small children, who have a habit of getting too close. You have been warned.

What do I need to make the Baja 5B SS complete?

one of 2 things..........

A SHELF (and a crown)

OR

A LOT OF DIRT (and the need to get sloppy and add some "Character" to you beast!)

Queen or Basher, its up to you


Queens are expensive and look nice, but the fun factor is missing. A true 'ja owner gets dirt everywhere, and has to clean their cars with a power washer and toothbrushes

clamber

Wow fasteddy. That was really helpful.

Does the radio I posted have a reciever that comes with it, or do I have to buy one?

You can buy it in one of several ways:

Just the TX
TX and 1 RX
TX, 1 RX and servos,
TX,2RX and servos.

The servos that come in the package arent good for the Baja but the package deal with the 2 RX is a great deal. You can use them in something else or off them.
Hope this helps.

It will never be complete.
