I second Chucks advice, also on your engine choice. Supertigre makes a great engine, I like them alot. but they are not, in my opinion, a beginers engine. they take alot of break-in and some tinkering. It would be ok if you had a local club and somebody there could tune it, but you dont. I would get an OS 46ax or 55Ax they are very newbe frendly and are more user freindly. Your radio is an excelent choice!
