Would prefer something I can change out if possible for other RC toys in the future. Budget cheap if possible.

Also need tires, and I guess wheels too? I've read some posts in this thread but the links are all dead and not really sure where to get the wheel/tire combo I'm looking for. I also probably need to get a different antenna. The old wire coat hanger might be past due for replacement. Is electric dog fence wire sufficient you think? Where can I get a "straw" to hold it up in the air?

Thanks all for any help you can provide. Man, this should be fun.

Can't post photos yet I guess... but I have two GA's, but no radio.
