BUYING for a NEWB
Hey guyz. I'm completely new to the R/C community. never even owned one since Christmas when I was 8. I was planning on buying a nitro Mammoth due to the many read forums in here. Can anyone help with whatever else is needed? My budget is about $1,000. Your help is much appreciated.
What I mean by what is needed is WHAT DO I NEED??? i.e.fuel, starter, etc.

And that's all huh? Any recommendations for another off road truck??? Just out of curiosity. I live in Arizona in the mountains? Is there anything else or something different I need to get for elevation or anything? I'm at about 7,500 feet.

I'm gonna keep you busy with my posts, but I do appreciate your help. Anyhow, a noticed a lot of those brackets/mods are listed for an XTM X-Terminator. Is that basically teh same design? Also, if I replaced all original hardware with the new, will that have an effect on the speed? For instance, slowing it down?

Nah alumium is light. Just get hose and the stock radio is fine. Hitec agressor. ANd onlky some of the parts are compatible with the xterm. Just the bulkheads mainly.
