RE: Going to start racing...
The reason for not wanting the lay down servos has been discussed on this forum extensively. do a search. Not trying to be mean but i just dont feel like typing it all out again and again.
That starter box should work...but I would recommend the Ofna 1/8th scale boxes with the twin 550 motors and power panel and gel cell battery. I think they run like $95 on ebay for the whole set. all you need is a charger and your good to go. I just bought one off there and the seller sold me a charger for it for an additional $7.50.
I Bought my pbs from jzmelton on ebay or speedzone raceway, same person for $399 plus $8 shipping and I had it in 3 days. Check with him he should have more in stock now. That came with everything.
