Default RE: Diving in. - guidance needed.

Hi guys,

Thank you very much for spending your time to reply my post.
I did not have the time to read it until recently. It took me a bit longer to understand what you guys wrote

To make my self more clear now, I am not going into racing, well not yet. I do look for a durable car as i probably crash it quite a lot as i am impatient when it comes to learning.
Since i remember Tamiya from the past and since i used to build lots of their models, i thought their cars will be also lots of fun. but if i understand correctly they did not align with all the new developments in the field? I would happily consider other kits, such as you recommened, as long as i am building them.

If you guys do have more kits in mind (2-3 to choose from will probably suffice) please let me know.


Foxy, I appriciate your time for answering in such depth my post. I do have 2 more questions:

Regarding the axial exo - why did you recommend a seperate motor combo for this car? does it come with no motor? or is it an upgrade? (if it does comes with kit motor, why the upgrade is so important?)
I tried reading the "understanding electric" post but it was too much for me at this stage. I think i need more basic understanding of what the function of each component before anything. (I do understand what the batteries do though...)

Regarding shopping online - do the hobby king shop that you recommended is a reliable source? do you know other shops that will ship to israel where i can buy online kits and accessories? (by the way, i am travelling quite often to HK and China so i can do shopping while im there too.)

Thanks in advance,

Potato.
